TUROMAS supports Grupo Tecnovidrio's evolution with technology, commitment and a vision for the future.
Grupo Tecnovidrio has taken a decisive step forward in its growth with the launch of a new production plant in Toluca, Mexico. Equipped with TUROMAS technology, the project incorporates two RUBI 517C float glass cutting tables and an automatic glass storage system.
With a family history dating back to the early 20th century, Grupo Tecnovidrio represents the continuation of a tradition dedicated to glass in Mexico. Founded in 1992 by José Antonio Riestra, the company continues the legacy started by his grandfather—a pioneer in mirror manufacturing in the country—and continued by his father.
Today, the company continues to evolve, combining craftsmanship with the most advanced technology to offer large-format glass solutions, laminates and low-emissivity glass for high-end architectural projects.
‘We focus mainly on architecture, on special projects involving large-scale glass installations. Our goal is to make the dreams of those who design them come true,’ says José Antonio Riestra, managing director of Grupo Tecnovidrio.
Throughout its history, Grupo Tecnovidrio has participated in some of Mexico’s most notable projects, such as Torre Virreyes, Torre Reforma, and the Los Cabos Convention Centre, where the challenge was to deliver large glass panels within a very short timeframe for the G20 meeting.
The partnership with TUROMAS: technology at the service of planning and efficiency
In its latest expansion phase, Grupo Tecnovidrio has entrusted TUROMAS with equipping its new plant with state-of-the-art machinery for automatic glass cutting and storage.
Technical solution provided
From the outset, the technical teams at TUROMAS and Tecnovidrio worked together to design a solution that would adapt to both the current needs and future objectives of the Mexican company. The result has been a phased project that facilitates technological adaptation, staff training and the transition to a new, more automated and efficient way of working.
To feed the cutting lines, an SR-07 rack shuttle smart warehouse with 39 positions and a storage capacity of up to 624 tonnes of glass has been installed, including an external reloading position that allows the system to be supplied without interrupting the loading cycle.
Both pieces of equipment, the cutting lines and the warehouse, are designed to work with two standard sheets or one jumbo sheet, increasing the system’s versatility and optimising daily operations.
The next phase of the project involves adding two scrap warehouses, one for each cutting line, thus completing the total integration of the storage and material utilisation system.
‘The TUROMAS team was fully involved. They understood our needs and offered great support throughout the project, which was not easy. The TUROMAS team is truly on par with any manufacturer in the world, with equipment that is easy to use but features cutting-edge technology.’
True to its family philosophy, Grupo Tecnovidrio promotes close and trusting relationships with both its employees and its suppliers.
‘What we are trying to do is grow together. This project has been a big step for us and an example of what can be achieved by working as a team,’ concludes José Antonio Riestra.
The collaboration between TUROMAS and Grupo Tecnovidrio is an inspiring example of how the combination of experience, innovation and trust can transform a vision into a productive reality. Thanks to the implementation of cutting-edge technology and close cooperation between teams, Tecnovidrio’s new plant has established itself as one of the most advanced in the sector in Mexico, ready to face market challenges with efficiency, precision and flexibility.
