HISTORY
Tambest Glass Solution consists of two strong Finnish pioneering enterprises of glass industry: Suomen Turvalasi Oy and Tambest Oy.
Suomen Turvalasi Oy was founded in May 1985. The original name of the company was Lounais-Hämeen Lasipalvelu ('Glass service of South Häme'). For the first few years the operation consisted of typical glazing business activities: repair glazing, changing of windshields, glazing contracting etc. In 2001 the company started the manufacturing of tempered safety glass and at the same time changed its name to Suomen Turvalasi Oy ('Finnish Safety Glass Ltd'), to illustrate more effectively the company's new product entity and expertise. In accordance with the strategy chosen, the company started in 2005 the manufacturing of laminated safety glass.
Since the founding of the company, its business activities have followed an upwards trend and been growth-oriented. In November 2008, Suomen Turvalasi Oy expanded its product portfolio by purchasing the business activities of Tambest Oy, the best known bender of architectural glass in Europe.
Since 1984, Tambest Oy has manufactured, sold and marketed demanding curved glass products to international markets. Ever since the company's founding, Tambest Oy has aimed at serving their customers in the best possible manner – according to their individual needs. This approach has produced several significant innovations in the field, among other things methods applied to the bending of optically difficult spherical, conical and parabolic glasses. For this reason, the company is known in the international competition field first of all as a reliable manufacturer of challenging glass solutions.
Tambest Glass Solutions Oy Ltd
After the extension of the factory building in Forssa was completed in spring 2010, the company's entire glass processing activities were transferred to the same location in Forssa. At the same time, the companies' business activities were merged even more closely together, and a new common name was created for the company, to correspond with the wider product and service whole.
Today, the company offers the most comprehensive product and service range available on the market. We manufacture flat and curved glasses, and when necessary, we deliver them with structures included installed in place – using the turnkey principle. Until further notice, we provide the turnkey service only within Finnish borders.
