Through the
Looking Glass
Investing in Australia’s future
Viridian is the largest glass provider and
the only manufacturer of float glass in
Australia. With over 150 years of glass
making history and more than 1000
employees, we provide comprehensive
glass and glazing solutions across
Australia and New Zealand.
Fully automated D line – part of our
$250m technology upgrades.
As part of CSR Building Products,
our ongoing commitment to new
technology and innovations has
reduced the environmental impact
of our processes and increased
manufacturing efficiencies
throughout our network.
We have embraced a ‘Target of
Zero Waste,’ which includes reducing
packaging and inter-packing materials,
recycling our chemicals and recycling
glass back into our Float glass that
contains 29% recycled product.
Two giants of 20th century architecture,
Alfred-Russell Hitchcock and Walter
Gropius, would surely be fascinated
with the Piermont House designed
by Rachcoff Vella.
Viridian has invested $250m in upgrades
since 2007 into plant and equipment
technologies that have improved service,
quality and delivery on an extensive
range of residential and commercial
products. This includes glass products
specific to energy efficiency, acoustics,
safety, fire, security and military.
