CGI, one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, and Glaston have agreed on a strategic cooperation, 

whereby CGI becomes Glaston’s main global partner in the group’s IT services and in advancing digital transformation.

Glaston is a leader in its industry, providing machines and equipment as well as related services for glass heat treatment,

Glaston has chosen CGI as its main partner to harmonize and modernize the group’s IT systems and streamline the day-to-day

 activities of its employees by renewing end-user services in all its operating countries.

“It is important to us that our partner understands the operating environment of the manufacturing industry as well as the needs 

of our international and growth-oriented business,” said Glaston’s VP, ICT & Digitalization Janne Puhakka. “We were also

 impressed by CGI’s corporate culture, which emphasizes the desire to listen to the customer and develop services in close 

cooperation. Such a foundation is safe to build future growth and rely on when we consolidate operations and develop our business.”

“In the partnership between CGI and Glaston, the strategic components of our service delivery model are clearly visible,” 

said Niraj Sood, Senior Vice President Consulting Services, Manufacturing Business Unit at CGI in Finland. “Glaston benefits

 from our strong local presence combined with the expertise of our global service centres. It has also been important to see

 how our solution-oriented customer service and quality culture have convinced Glaston of our ability to assist them in the next steps of growth and leveraging its global reach.”
