Lindes, with their modern facility based in Tlatilco close to Mexico City, is the leading Mexican company for fabrication and distribution of insulating glass. There are now 3 factories producing more than 2000 sq. meters per day. The third factory, named H3 just opened this year and has a production area of 4000 sq. meters, able to produce 140 000 sq. meters of tempered and insulating glass every year.

H3 has been designed for high environmental efficiency, with 3600 sq. meters of solar panels and rain water harvesting that provides for 75% of the total consumption, for production and human consumption. This ties in with Lindes’ operation statement, their commitment to quickly bring the benefits of sustainable clean and affordable energy to as many people as possible.
