Construction of the float glass production line began on August 9, 1978 following the Council of Ministers’ approval for the new float glass factory in Sandomierz in June of the same year. One year later, on August 15, 1979 the Deputy Prime Minister, Tadeusz Wrzaszczyk, signed off a construction permit to build a float plant in Sandomierz. However, subject to Decree no. 133/80 of the Council of Ministers, its construction was suspended on November 17, 1980.
