Fire-resistant glazing specialist Pyroguard has strengthened its regional scope through a new manufacturing partnership with South Glass, aimed at meeting rising demand for fire safety solutions across India and the Middle East.
The collaboration amounts to a major step in Pyroguard’s expansion strategy, establishing a dedicated production base in Hyderabad.
The company said that this move could improve supply chain efficiency, reduce delivery times, and enhance technical support for clients operating in fast-growing construction markets.
Industry demand for fire-rated glazing has increased in recent years, driven by rapid urban development and stricter building safety regulations. Pyroguard said its local manufacturing capability will allow it to respond more effectively to these requirements while continuing to comply with Indian standards and its own international performance benchmarks.
The new facility will produce a range of fire-resistant glass products for use in doors, partitions, façades and curtain walling systems. By manufacturing locally, the company works more closely with architects, developers and contractors to supply customised solutions suited to regional specifications and project needs.
According to the company, the expansion also supports improved safety outcomes by assuring consistent access to certified fire protection materials. Fire-rated glazing plays a key role in containing flames and smoke, helping to protect building occupants and support evacuation in emergencies.
Pyroguard has supplied the Indian market for more than a decade from its European operations, aiding projects such as Vivanta by Taj Dwarka and commercial developments in Noida and Hyderabad. The new plant is expected to build on this track record by providing locally produced materials that meet the same quality and accreditation standards as its UK and French facilities.
Among the products to be manufactured are Pyroguard Protect and Pyroguard Firesafe E120, both designed to deliver high levels of fire resistance. The company confirmed that its 13 mm glazing solutions have undergone extensive testing to meet Indian standards, achieving classifications that demonstrate their ability to limit heat transfer and maintain soundness during fire incidents.
Steve Goodburn, Business Development Director at Pyroguard, said, “India’s rapidly growing infrastructure and commercial real estate sectors, combined with tighter fire safety regulations, are driving strong demand for high-quality fire-rated glazing. Our local manufacturing presence enables closer collaboration with customers, reduced lead-times and improved support for architects working to local specifications across India and the Middle East.
“Pyroguard has a well-established sales presence in India and a dedicated team based here. Local manufacturing strengthens our commitment to the market and ensures architects, developers and contractors benefit from our quality, speed and service.”
