Our history
From the original owner Ernst A. A. Abendroth, the Fischmann family bought the glassworks. Throughout its existence, the glassworks produced mostly typical products (beverage bottles, flat glass, glass blocks), but also electrically melted refractories.
Glasfabriken Fischmann Söhne A. G. is seriously interested in the production of glass wool for insulation applications. This idea was subsequently continued in 1963-1967 with the construction of a Fibrex insulation fibre production line. After the successful start of Fibrex production, the construction of the Rotaflex fibre production facility was started.
The global rise in energy prices at the end of the last century was reflected in the demand for quality insulation. The management of the joint stock company UNION LESNÍ BRÁNA decided to change the production technology leading to the production of a product fully comparable with products from developed countries. The intention was realized and in 1993 the licensed product ROTAFLEX Super ® leaves the production line.
