The GGF celebrates 40 years!

The GGF celebrates 40 years!

In 2017 the GGF celebrates 40 years of representing companies that make, supply or fit glass and glazing related products in the UK – and providing consumer protection to homeowners.

Today marks the 40^th Anniversary of the founding of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), the UK glazing industry’s leading trade body which represents hundreds of companies that manufacture, supply and install glass and glazing products.

GGF Member companies are established, trusted companies that make and install quality products and work to the highest professional standards.

You’ll find GGF Member companies all over the UK, and those Members will be part of a raft of special 40th anniversary events and promotions planned by the GGF throughout the next 12 months.

40 years and still going strong

The Glass and Glazing Federation was founded on 13th January 1977 when the Flat Glass Association changed its name to the Glass and Glazing Federation and incorporated the Insulating Glass, Safety Glazing and Glass Benders Associations.

This brought together the principal representative bodies of the glazing industry at that time, and many founder Members are still GGF Members to this day!
