In china, AG glass industry has become a “red sea”, there are tens of thousands supplier when you search AG glass on Alibaba. Guangdong, as the gathering place of touch screen industry, contains hundreds of touch screen factories, also the cover glass factories. But most of them only have the processing capability for consumer electronics. Such as, phone, tablet. In recent 2 years, with the deterioration of consumer electronics market environment, more and more cover glass factories put in advertisement of AG cover glass. However, How much do these factories know about their downstream supplier-raw material of AG glass ?
Will they supply the AG cover glass as promised ?
It will use highly toxic chemicals-HF during AG etching process, accordingly, it needs high control of chemical reaction during production. Besides, it’s not an easy task to get environment approval. Most AG glass factories doesn’t invest much money on automated production equipment and sewage treatment systems. They have to be located in remote area, harsh environment and poor equipment, they may disappear at any time. Unfortunately, it’s the common phenomenon in the current AG glass processing industry.
Due to the production environment and poor equipment , the chemical etching production will be suspended in case of high air humidity of the rainy season or the weather, it is almost impossible to produce. Gelivable ever encountered this issue that the frequent returned goods results in delay of clients delivery time after we placed order to domestic AG glass factory. At that time, we placed a japanese order to the AG glass factory. The appointed delivery time is 15days. With the time passed by, the supplier told us “ please give us more time, we’re unable to produce AG glass because of the raining “ . We had to adjust delivery . While, the raining days last, 2000pcs AG glass were provided to clients for 3 months.
After that, we had to change suppliers. This time we chose a bigger AG etching glass factory , The samples and first batch went very smoothly. But when we inspected the second batch , some issues occurred on AG glass appearance , foreign material ,uneven etching particles, even partial missing etching. When we measured with a piece of glass in different locations, the deviation of gloss, haze roughness and deviations is very big. We can’t send this batch to client. What’s the problem ? The supplier answered that the previous technician went for home and the second batch was made by another person. We strongly urged to visit this factory and found out the reason. We’re shocked at what we saw. The production environment and equipment are very poor. Workers held the pipe and sprayed the glass from top to bottom, without any protection. Subsequently, the glass is sent to be polished and toasted. Finally, workers inspected the quality in this environment. The few exhaust fans were corroded deformed,fruit trees and flowers outside fans had no life. Almost bare plant exudes a pungent stench ……
Quality and delivery problems, repeatedly taking place after more than enough force to pull investigated AG glass factory, the problem can not be completely resolved. Enough force to pull so offended customers, and even the loss of a number of sales opportunities.
The quality and delivery issues occurred again and again. Gelivable visited many AG glass factory, but these issues stays. Many clients felt desperate about this issue.We also lost many sales opportunities.
Later, force enough to pull through a wide range of market research in the future, all AG decided to etching process to overseas OEM factories, pleasant cooperation so far. The plant has 100 years of experience in glass processing, glass AG has 40 years of experience in chemical etching. Europe and America advanced chemical etching technique and automated production lines, production and storage temperature and humidity environment to ensure the stable production parameters. And ensuring that all AG glass transmittance greater than 89%, while the flexible use USAF1951 USAF standard test pieces of glass resolution AG tighter regulation. Now, our AG glass cover large number of shipments to the Japanese market, the quality is almost zero complaints. Japanese customers even more batches of test results in a summary after the exemption under discussion on the direction of the line with us.
Gelivable decided to authorize the AG etching to abroad factory after market research. The plant has 100 years experience of glass processing and 40 years experience of AG etching glass. It’s equipped with advanced chemical etching technology and automated production line. The production and warehouse are constant temperature and humidity environment which ensure the stability of all parameters. Moreover, they control the resolution of AG glass strictly using the USAF 1951 test piece, the transmittance of AG glass is above 89%. Now we’ve delivered many etched AG glass to Japanese market. The quality complaints is zero.
Do you hope to buy AG glass without worries? Do you hope your project move smoothly? Do you hope the quality management is easier? If yes, Please contact Gelivable.
Other glass factories only want to sell more glasses to you, we want to help you to sell more
