Groglass® takes its technological roots from AS Sidrabe, which was the main nano materials research centre for the Soviet Aerospace and Defense sector since 1962. After Latvia’s independence, A/S Sidrabe continued to make innovative production equipment to meet the needs of world’s leading technology companies. In 2004, US-based private equity fund NCH, which also owns the majority shares of Sidrabe, funded the creation of a production company in Latvia, built on the basis of Sidrabe’s technology.
