Last year, shocked by the global IT industry collapse, Taiwan Glass factories in mainland took a loss. But fortunately, recently the IT industry had appeared the signal of recovery. The market estimated that Taiwan Glass would walk out of the bottom and also pushed up the shares. Yesterday, Taiwan Glass rose 0.05 yuan.

The director of Taiwan Glass Group, Lin Boshi said that energy-saving and energy-producing ( Solar glass)  was the tendency in the future. Solar glass needed more investment but also had high profits.

Taiwan Glass Group had three energy-saving glass processing factories representatively in Middle of Taiwan, Kunshan and Chengdu in mainland. Because energy-saving glass was relative with building industry, it was paid more and more attention. Lin Boshi said China's production capacity was in short supply, companies had to line up to buy. After Q2 this year, the mainland housing market was warming up obviously, which was a key factor for Taiwan Glass to increase the expansion of the mainland energy-saving glass.
