CEO Message

On 30 September 2026, NSG Group has launched its new management structure, established following the completion of the transaction with funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Apollo Funds"), taking the first step toward achieving growth.

NSG Group will leverage a strengthened financial foundation, following the transaction with the Apollo Funds and key financial institutions, to accelerate investments in its people and technology. This will enable the Group to enhance its competitiveness to achieve sustainable growth. Drawing on Apollo's prior investment experience in glass, automotive, and manufacturing, NSG Group will further capitalize on the strengths of the wider group and steadily build a more robust and sustainable business foundation.

This closing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for NSG Group. Reaching this milestone would not have been possible without the understanding and steadfast support of our shareholders, financial institutions, business partners, and employees, and we are deeply grateful to each of them.

The expertise, trust, brand, and core values of our group, cultivated over a century of tradition and passion for glass, remain unchanged, and we intend to continue developing them further.

Together, we will dedicate our utmost efforts to realizing our 2030 Vision: Shift the Phase medium term plan to transform the Group and contribute to the development of a sustainable society.
