SGLTL partners with AGI group to manufacture Glass-Lined Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

Hyderabad, May 14 (UNI)Standard Glass Lining Technology Limited (SGLTL), one of India’s leading engineering firms, on Wednesday announced an alliance with Japan’s iconic AGI Group and its affiliate GL HAKKO, global leaders in advanced glass-lined technology, to manufacture the World’s First Glass-Lined Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers in India.
The collaboration grants SGLTL an exclusive 20-year license to assemble and market GL HAKKO’s world-class glass-lined shell and tube heat exchangers in India—a pioneering breakthrough that positions SGLTL on the global innovation map in this segment, the company said in a release.
Nageswara Rao Kandula, Managing Director, SGLTL said " This partnership is a golden opportunity—not just for Standard Glass, but for the entire Indian pharmaceutical and chemical sectors. Until now, this highly specialized equipment was entirely imported. We are now proud to become the first and only manufacturer of this advanced product in India.”
India’s pharmaceutical and chemical industries have long relied on graphite heat exchangers—an aging technology known for particle contamination and batch failures.
In contrast, glass-lined shell and tube heat exchangers deliver superior durability, corrosion resistance, and process safety, representing a game-changing upgrade for critical process applications.
The latent Indian market alone is estimated to be about Rs. 2,000 crore at the current estimated sales price of this product, while the global opportunity estimates exceed $2 billion. Standard Glass has already secured 150 advance orders ahead of domestic production.
“We will also manufacture this product at our upcoming world-class, highly mechanised facility, with an initial estimated capacity of about 200 units per month by Q4 FY26,” Nageswara Rao added.
In a parallel initiative, SGLTL has also signed an exclusive agreement with GL HAKKO to produce Conductivity Glass-Lined Reactors—a first for India.
