Innovation & technologies
R&D structure for innovation excellence
With R&D bases in Japan, Europe, and North America, AGC Automotive is the perfect partner both locally and globally for customers’ development needs. We lead the market in the innovation of materials, processing, coatings, simulation, composites, and production technologies which are then deployed to our production bases and used by customers all around the world.
Toward a sustainable future-mobility society
As CASE and MaaS become widespread, the efficient coordination of AGC Group capabilities involving glass, chemical, and materials technologies enable the combination of IT elements for sensors and displays with sleek, high-performance glazing.
Our state-of-the-art anechoic chambers based in Japan, Europe, and the United States enable us to work jointly with customers throughout the whole design, development, simulation, and production process.
New technology: our low-e coatings provide a panoramic roof that protects against heat
Our new Light Control Panoramic Roof with Low-e Coating uses a brand new, specially developed coating for vehicles.
The special Low-e film on the inner surface of the laminated glass allows high durability, unprecedented solar control, and heat insulation performance by combining inorganic materials and glass coating technologies. This greatly reduces the heat of summer and the cold of winter, previously drawbacks of glazed roofs.
Our high resin, polymer materials, and composite technologies are also used in the dimming function which instantly adjusts transmitted light levels, allowing the control of daylight entering the cabin environment, providing new enjoyment, comfort, and experiential values to driving.

Mobility
Consumer driving needs and traveling habits are continuously evolving. A wave of changes - referred to as CASE (Connectivity, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) - is spreading through the automotive industry, while the new service format known as MaaS (Mobility as a Service) is becoming more widespread. As a result, Automobile is radically changing to Mobility with a new ecosystem of players.
To be an actor in this ongoing transition, AGC Automotive has identified Mobility as one of its Strategic Businesses, and especially focused on developing products and solutions of displays, antennas, and sensors as fields in which it can take advantage of AGC Group’s strengths.

Cover glass for car-mounted displays
The displays installed in automobiles have become indispensable for connecting people and cars, such as navigation and the operation of in-vehicle devices. With the increase in information pesented such as driving-assistance systems, the displays are expected to be of even higher performance and larger size.
In 2013, we became the world's first company to establish a production system for car-mounted display cover glass that fully integrates every stage from raw glass to final processing, and launched the product for sale that year. In 2017, we also began manufacturing and offering curved cover glass in addition to the already available flat-surfaced cover glass.
As a leading company of cover glass for car-mounted displays, we will continue to promote technological innovation, and provide products with "new value and functions" in order to realize a safe, secure, and comfortable interior space.
Cover glass for car-mounted displays
Display glazing
In the future when Level 4 and 5 autonomous driving is realized, the window of mobility will become the role of a display, and there is a possibility that it will become a new medium of presenting information or HMI (Human Machine Interface). With that potential, we are working on marketing and developing display glazing that will enable the projection of high-contrast images onto transparent windows. In 2021, display glazing was adopted for digital signage service on the side windows of a taxi.

Our story
Establishment
In 1907, Toshiya Iwasaki decided to start domestic production of flat glass and established Asahi Glass Co., Ltd, (currently AGC Inc.). Under him, it succeeded in the first Japanese production of sheet glass. His pioneering spirit, summarized in the basic principle "Never take the easy way out, but confront difficulties" was the driving force behind AGC Group overcoming a succession of difficult business challenges and led to the company's subsequent dynamic growth.
Expanded into automotive glass business
In 1956, AGC began manufacturing automotive glass in response to growing demand for automobiles in Japan. Aichi and Sagami plants were established in 1970 and 1972 respectively.
Expansion in Southeast Asia. Technology enabled mass production
Due to new construction and expansion of manufacturing bases of Japanese automobile companies in Southeast Asia, Thai Safety Glass, currently AGC Automotive (Thailand) Co., Ltd., was established in 1974. Also, in 1976, PT Asahimas Flat Glass Tbk was established in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the industry’s first introduction of a gas furnace enabled the mass production of tempered glass for automobiles at one of AGC’s glass plants in Japan.
Business expansion in Europe, India, and North America
In 1981, AGC acquired Glaverbel, a long-established Belgian glass manufacturer excelling at manufacturing technology. In keeping with their traditional management spirit which always kept an eye on the global market, AGC actively expanded their business in Europe. This also contributed to the further growth of Glaverbel and invigorated the market.
In 1985, Asahi India Safety Glass Ltd., currently Asahi India Glass Ltd., was established in India.
Also in 1985, AGC established AP Techno Glass, currently AGC Automotive Americas Co., as a joint venture with the largest flat glass manufacturer in the United States, and it contributed to the region’s development through the production of automotive glass. AGC started operations at their Ohio plant in 1986 and at their Kentucky plant in 1989.
Business expansion in China and Europe
In 1995, a joint venture was established in China, followed by capital investment in QHSD, currently AGC Automotive (Qinhuangdao) Inc. To address production growth in all European regions, AGC acquired Sklo Union in the Czech Republic in 1990, started laminated glass production at Splintex in Belgium in 1992, invested capital in Bor Glassworks in Russia in 1997, and in 1998 expanded business in France and Italy through the acquisition of further European companies.
Transformation into a truly global company
AGC evolved into a truly global company in the 2000's. In 2002, AGC introduced the Global In-house Company System and Global Management System. In 2003, the automotive business was unified and branded as AGC Automotive. In 2007, the AGC Group brand was unified as AGC. In 2018, on its 100th anniversary, the corporate name Asahi Glass Company was changed to AGC Inc., to further enhance the integrated management framework for the AGC Group on a global scale.
Meanwhile, in line with the rapidly expanding Chinese automobile market, AGC made QHSD, currently AGC Automotive (Qinhuangdao) Inc., a subsidiary to strengthen the production capacity of Qinhuangdao plant in 2003. In 2005, AGC Automotive Hungary Ltd. started operations. In 2008, operations started at the Foshan plant (second plant) in China.
Business expansion in Brazil, Mexico, and Morocco
In the 2010's, positioning “business expansion in emerging markets” was one of its growth strategies. In 2014, AGC started operations at the Guaratingueta plant in Brazil, in 2016 at the San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico, and in 2019 at the Kenitra plant in Morocco. Meanwhile in China, operations started at the Suzhou plant (third plant), and integration of operations with the other two automotive glass production bases, Foshan Plant and Qinhuangdao Plant, was accelerated in 2015. Also, in order to enhance the automotive replacement glass business, AGC acquired NordGlass in Poland in 2015.
Creation of new markets to usher in the age of mobility
During the same period, vehicles became more and more connected, requiring ICT (Information and Communication Technology). In 2013, AGC’s subsidiary, AGC Display Glass Yonezawa started production of flat-surfaced cover glass for car-mounted displays on a dedicated production line in Japan. In 2017, AGC started mass production of 3D curved cover glass for car-mounted displays at Keihin Plant in Japan, which was a world first. Using AGC Group’s technologies, this curved cover glass combines chemical strengthening treatment, optical thin-film coating, and surface printing, with technological development and production done throughout AGC.
In addition, AGC enhanced on-glass antenna development including 5G and V2X, and opened two anechoic chambers in Belgium in 2019.
