the history of novaglaze gardner & newton
Messrs. Gardner and Newton started bending glass in 1836. In 2006, after 170 years in the industry, the company joined forces with another leading curved glass manufacturer, ngn, relocating to their 46,000 sq ft factory in Huddersfield.
Both Novaglaze's and Gardner & Newton's sustained growth over the years can be attributed to quality; of workmanship, service and the speed of response. These are factors which mean that more and more clients rely upon Novaglaze Gardner & Newton for their curved glass requirements.
Now conjoined, Novaglaze Gardner & Newton offers its clients a wide range of products and services including: curved annealed, curved laminated, curved toughened, curved double glazing units, drilling, edgework, sandblasting, acid etching, screen printing. The company also offers high quality laminated glass; our flat laminated glass has been British Standard Institute (BSI) tested and conforms to BS6206:1981.
