Saudi American Glass Company (SAGCO) was established in 1978 and through diligent investment and expansion has become one of the largest and best equipped suppliers of processed architectural glass in the Middle East.

In 1993 SAGCO pioneered the introduction of MSVD Technology into the region when it established the first coating plant for the production of High Performance Solar Control glasses. Such was the success of this venture that it was followed in 1999 by the establishment of a second, much larger, coater that enabled SAGCO to produce a much wider range of products in order to even better satisfy the growing and more demanding requirements of both architects and building owners.
