Through the acquisition of Scheuten’s stake in “Moustier4”, AGC Glass Europe has acquired the total share capital of the joint venture that constitutes the Belgium-based float production line located in the AGC Moustier plant. In parallel, both companies have concluded an agreement under which Scheuten buys float glass from AGC network in North Europe.
