Pyroguard invests in India with new manufacturing partnership to support growing demand for fire-rated glazing
Pyroguard has established a new manufacturing partnership with South Glass in India as part of its strategic expansion to support increasing demand across India and the Middle East.
This investment reinforces Pyroguard’s long-term commitment to the Indian market and strengthens its operational presence in the region. The collaboration will enable shorter lead times and enhanced local technical and sales support, while ensuring full compliance with Indian building and fire safety standards alongside Pyroguard’s globally recognised performance benchmarks.
With a dedicated manufacturing base in India, Pyroguard will be better positioned to collaborate closely with architects, developers and installers to deliver customised fire-rated glazing solutions for applications including doors, partitions, façades and curtain walling.
Steve Goodburn, Business Development Director at Pyroguard, commented: “India’s rapidly growing infrastructure and commercial real estate sectors, combined with tighter fire safety regulations, are driving strong demand for high-quality fire-rated glazing. Our local manufacturing presence enables closer collaboration with customers, reduced lead-times and improved support for architects working to local specifications across India and the Middle East.”
Pyroguard has supplied high-performance fire-resistant glazing to India for over a decade from its facilities in France and the UK, supporting major projects including Vivanta by Taj Dwarka, the Windsor Group IT Park in Noida and high rise developments in Hyderabad.
The new Indian manufacturing plant, based in Hyderabad, will produce fire-safety glass locally to the same global standards of performance, quality and certification as Pyroguard’s UK and French operations, providing the market with premium fire-rated glass and improved project efficiencies.
Key products manufactured in India will include Pyroguard Protect (13 mm fire safety glass) and Pyroguard Firesafe E120 – both rigorously tested to relevant local standards to ensure the highest levels of performance and compliance. Pyroguard has invested in ongoing testing and certification for the market, in collaboration with partners. This comprehensive testing has validated the capability of 13 mm Pyroguard Protect to achieve both EW120 and EI30 classifications in accordance with IS standards.
Achieving this milestone reflects not only proven product performance, but also Pyroguard’s ongoing investment in regional testing, certification and strategic partnerships – demonstrating a sustained commitment to strengthening local capabilities and advancing fire safety standards across the market.
Steve Goodburn added “Pyroguard has a well-established sales presence in India and a dedicated team based here. Local manufacturing strengthens our commitment to the market and ensures architects, developers and contractors benefit from our quality, speed and service.”
