Saint-Gobain received the final construction permit for its FurHya hybrid flat-glass furnace in Aviles on Thursday, November 12. The approval moves the La Maruca project into its construction phase, according to La Nueva España.
Saint-Gobain stock traded at 75.63 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 12:39 CET on Saturday, November 14. The Saturday quote came as the company prepared to replace the existing furnace, which is scheduled to stop production on November 16.
FurHya enters execution phase
The project carries an investment of 100 million euros, with European funding covering 60 percent of the cost. Saint-Gobain is developing the highly electrified hybrid furnace with AGC Glass Europe, and the new installation is expected to enter service in the second half of 2027.
The replacement is intended to secure the future of the La Maruca plant and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from flat-glass production. The existing furnace is due to be emptied and cooled before dismantling, while preparatory work is expected to continue until Christmas.
Climate resilience remains strategic theme
Saint-Gobain also scheduled Sustainable Construction Talks in Belek, Antalya, for November 13 during COP31. The event was presented as a forum on climate-resilient cities, sustainable investment and construction strategies, as reported by ChemEx World. The program included the presentation of the 2026 Sustainable Construction Barometer.
For investors, the permit creates a sequence of operational milestones: the furnace shutdown, dismantling work and the planned 2027 start-up. Execution at Aviles and the shift toward lower-carbon, higher-value glass products remain the main industrial themes.
