Quendoz Glas AG, located in Zurich, is an owner-managed family business with nearly a century of experience in glass construction and processing, offering a wide range of products and services. Aware that customer support is fundamental, the company has developed technical assistance from the project stage to final installation, providing turn-key solutions.
Founded by Albert Quendoz in 1927, the company specializes in custom-made products, focusing on glass design and proposals for both interiors and exteriors. Over the years, Quendoz expanded its range of services and specialized in surface technologies and bespoke products, thanks to the involvement of several family generations.
Today, Quendoz employs around 35 people, and the fifth generation has recently taken over, bringing fresh ideas and a focus on technology to the management team.
Guided by the belief that glass is “diversity and uniqueness combined,” Quendoz has enhanced its machinery by investing in a bending kiln and a laminating machine to improve its special glass product offerings.
After exploring market options, Quendoz visited RCN for a demonstration and discussion on available solutions and decided to purchase an ECO SPECIAL 3500 bending kiln (active size 3500x2100xh900mm). This kiln features six heating zones—three upper and three lower sections—that work independently to distribute heat where it's most needed, based on the curve being processed. It also includes six inspection windows, automatic opening, and remote control.
This heating system allows for the production of complex, perfectly shaped curves without imperfections or distortions, making the lamination of curved glass easier. Quendoz, a supplier for glass installations in boutiques for major Swiss brands known for luxury chocolates and watches, requires high-quality products for these installations.
For this reason, Quendoz also decided to purchase a laminating machine: the LAMMY SYSTEM 180, single shelf (active size 3000x1800mm), complete with one Silikosft bag, specially designed for lamination of curved glass, and an Eva roll-holder.
The combination of bending and lamination is particularly important for safety products and provides elegant, special installations for both outdoor and indoor settings. This is why RCN focuses on producing machines for special products, offering added value and catering to the future of the glass market.
Both kilns have been successfully installed, and we are confident that Quendoz will deliver exceptional production quality, backed by their experience and professionalism. RCN’s team provided all the necessary technical service to ensure the customer could start production immediately, without downtime, using the REVA BF laminating interlayer. The combination of RCN’s machines with REVA BF ensures accurate lamination, excellent results, and consistent quality.
RCN SOLUTIONS is grateful to Quendoz Glas for choosing RCN and for their cooperation during installation.
