Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd.: Riding the wave of the "Belt and Road" initiative, using international certification to safeguard the new journey of specialty glass "going global".

As Chinese glass processing companies increasingly focus on overseas markets, and as infrastructure projects along the Belt and Road Initiative drive ever-growing demand for high-performance specialty glass, a wave of Chinese specialty glass going global is rapidly taking shape.

As a national high-tech enterprise with nearly two decades of experience in the specialty glass field, Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd. is actively integrating into the Belt and Road Initiative, leveraging international certifications and a comprehensive product portfolio of specialty glass, to promote high-quality specialty glass products made in Zhejiang to a wider international market.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a powerful force, and now is the perfect time for specialty glass to go global.

In 2026, the Belt and Road Initiative will enter its 13th year, with infrastructure construction in participating countries continuing to heat up, creating vast overseas market opportunities for the specialty glass industry. From Southeast Asia to the Middle East, from Africa to Central Asia, a large number of transportation hubs, commercial complexes, high-end residential projects, and public facilities are underway, continuously releasing demand for high-performance specialty glass products such as fire-resistant glass, energy-saving glass, and safety glass.

Against this backdrop, Chinese specialty glass companies have significantly accelerated their overseas expansion. In June 2026, North Glass Group added the "Belt and Road" concept to its portfolio, with its products now covering more than 110 countries and regions worldwide, boasting a business coverage rate of over 80% along the Belt and Road and export revenue accounting for 35.26%. In the UAE, the Abu Dhabi building energy-saving glass factory project of China Southern Glass Group received policy-based financial support from the Export-Import Bank of China, marking a significant breakthrough in the high-end green building sector through the "finance + industry" collaborative overseas expansion model. This project utilizes China's independently developed triple-silver-coated energy-saving glass technology, achieving internationally leading product performance and effectively reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions throughout the building's lifecycle. In the Central Asian market, the first batch of 110 tons of building glass from Shuanghe City, Fifth Division of Xinjiang, was successfully shipped to Kazakhstan, achieving a breakthrough in glass building material exports. Shanxi's glass and glass products exports also saw a year-on-year increase of 70.3%.

From a global market perspective, demand for specialty glass remains strong. The global specialty architectural glass market is growing steadily, and the advanced glass market is projected to reach US$132.92 billion by 2033. The global glass and glass products market is projected to grow from US$211.57 billion in 2025 to US$219.27 billion in 2026. In this wave of overseas expansion, companies with core technologies, international certifications, and full-category production capabilities will gain greater market dominance.

International Certification First: CE Certification Opens the Door to the EU Market

In international trade, certification is the "passport" for products to enter target markets. In March 2026, Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd.'s tempered glass products successfully obtained the certificate issued by the EU CE certification body. As a mandatory safety standard in the EU market, CE certification represents that the product meets the stringent requirements of the EU Building Products Regulation (CPR, Regulation (EU) 305/2011) in terms of health, safety, and environmental protection.

This certification signifies that the company's tempered glass products fully meet the standards in seven basic characteristics: mechanical resistance and stability, fire safety, safety in use, energy saving, and thermal insulation. This not only provides legal protection for the company's tempered glass products exported to the EU market, but also lays a solid foundation of quality and reputation for the company's other specialty glass products entering the international market.

In fact, international certification systems are crucial for the export of specialty glass. Architectural glass exported to the EU market must obtain CE certification and undergo core tests according to CPR regulations, such as tempered glass fragmentation (EN 12150) and laminated glass impact resistance (EN 14449). Safety glass also needs to pass China's mandatory product certification "CCC". Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd. has successively passed ISO9001 quality management system, ISO14001 environmental management system, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system certification, and the integration of informatization and industrialization management system certification. Its products have passed the China Building Materials Testing and Certification Center's national mandatory product "CCC" certification, the China Classification Society's factory approval certificate, and the Ministry of Emergency Management's Tianjin Fire Products Research Institute's fire protection product certification. This series of authoritative domestic and international certifications provides systematic quality assurance for the company's expansion into overseas markets.

International Buyers Visit the Workshop: Overseas Markets Highly Recognize "Jingtai Quality"

International market recognition is reflected not only in certification certificates but also in on-site visits and purchasing intentions from overseas clients.

In December 2025, under the guidance of the Quzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the YiwuTrade platform, along with international buyers from Yemen, Nigeria, and Ukraine, visited the production workshop of Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd. in the Quzhou industrial belt. The professional equipment and diverse products in Jingtai Glass's production workshop left a deep impression on the international buyers.

"We are looking for specialty glass that can maintain stability in extreme environments, not just ordinary building materials," one buyer stated during the visit. During the production line tour, the foreign buyers inquired in detail about the technical parameters of Jingtai Glass in terms of strength, safety, and optical performance. Jingtai Glass's products are widely used in power equipment, security engineering, and high-end building curtain walls, among other fields. Yulian, a buyer from Ukraine, remarked after the visit, "The level of process control and product consistency here is impressive, perfectly meeting our stringent requirements for industrial-grade partners."

This scene vividly illustrates the global expansion of Chinese specialty glass companies. The high level of attention overseas customers pay to product quality, process control, and production consistency reflects the core demand of the international specialty glass market—not just products, but a stable and reliable quality assurance system.

A Comprehensive Product Matrix: Meeting Diverse Needs in Overseas Markets

In the international market, different regions have varying focuses regarding the demand for specialty glass. The Middle East has a strong demand for energy-saving and fire-resistant glass; Southeast Asia sees continued growth in demand for safety glass and architectural curtain wall glass; the European market has stringent requirements for environmental protection, energy conservation, and product certification; and the African and Central Asian markets are increasingly demanding high-performance, cost-effective specialty glass products.

Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology, with its comprehensive product matrix covering core categories such as fire-resistant glass, bulletproof and impact-resistant composite glass, Low-E insulated glass, smart dimming glass, nano-energy-saving glass, and tempered glass, precisely addresses the diverse needs of overseas markets.
