ALGLAS was founded by Alan O'Nions in 1986, who trained as a private pilot with BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). With a background in architectural glass and aluminium, Alan identified a need for safe and effective cleaners for glass, acrylic and other aircraft substrates.
Alglas AGC/22 Aircraft Glass Cleaner was the first product to launch which was submitted to BAe Military Aircraft Division for approval. Subsequently AGC/22 has received approvals from Boeing, Airbus, The Thales Group, Panasonic and many other OEMs.
As Alglas grew as a company more products were added to the range, including the industry-first twin wet-and-dry anti-static instrument wipe, the ALG/CR215. The ALG/RCBA anti-bacterial sanitiser allowed the cleaning of all airborne electronics and avionics and the Visial VDU anti-static mist spray reduced static build-up across system displays, radars and touch screens.
