history
- In 1905 Johann Friedrich Trösch developed a process for transferring images onto glass and porcelain.
- In 1938, his son Rudolf Friedrich Trösch (1907–1992) founded today's stock corporation and built a glass grinding shop and a production facility for the manufacture of mirrors , thereby laying the foundation for the company's future industrial development.
- In 1956 his sons Heinz and Erwin Trösch took over and provided the basis for the rapid and successful expansion of the group of companies through pioneering manufacturing processes for insulating glass.
- In 1977 the trade and later also the manufacture of the Swisslamex windshields was started and a reliable partner with its own production for workshop partners from Alfa Romeo to Zastava .
- In 1978, the production of the single-pane safety glass Swissdurex was started and a little later this was supplemented by the laminated safety and armored glass Swisslamex .
- In 1986 large-area vacuum coating was started and the latest generation of highly heat-insulating insulating glass from the Silverstar brand was introduced, which was later supplemented by the sun protection coatings Sunstop and the reflection-free glass Luxar .
- In 1995, under the management of Erich Trösch, the flat glassworks Euroglas was built in Hombourg, Alsace , with a daily production of around 500 tons of glass.
- In 1997 , a second glass factory was built in Haldensleben , near Magdeburg , and ensured the long-term supply of raw materials to the group of companies.

Innovations
Since 2007, the group of companies, as the first insulating glass manufacturer, has been using the ift product pass recommended by the Institute for Window Technology , which provides an overview of the insulating glass systems tested, secure transfer rules according to EN 1279-1 for replaced components in the insulating glass system (e.g. sealant, spacer) and the includes proven performance properties according to EN 1279-5. At the same time, it also proves that the evidence for CE marking may be used by the manufacturer.
