History of Harviglass and GRP manufacturing
For more than 40 years Harviglass has been a major innovator
in the field of reinforced plastics, as the pictures on this
page from the 1960's & 1970's show. Even in the early years
Harviglass was involved in important national projects in aviation,
construction and power generation, able to persuade a conservative
establishment of the huge advantages of reinforced plastics over
traditional material solutions. |

We are immensely proud of our history, which at times was beset
with technical challenges never previously encountered. But such
challenges were hugely fulfilling achieving innovative solutions
that today we take for granted. |
| Our philosophy since that time remains
unaltered. We embrace change, challenge and the opportunity to
penetrate new markets. We actively seek-out those projects which
offer the greatest resistance - and develop remedies, answers,
techniques and procedures that advance our customers objectives,
enhance our skills and further our reputation. |
|
| Perhaps our greatest achievement,
in the volatile industrial environment of the late 20th and early
21st centuries, is simply that we are still here! Still here
with the same objectives and attitudes we set out with back in
1961. And we don't believe them to be any less relevant today.
