AGY has announced plans to exit the Lot Glass business. AGY’s glass fiber Lot Glass yarn is used as reinforcement for high silica fabrics in both aerospace and military applications where traceability is of key importance. The determining factor, explained Drew Walker, AGY Vice President of Sales and Marketing, was the significant decline in demand for Lot Glass G150 during the past year. With the termination of the space shuttle program, AGY has no expectation of improvement in coming years. “With limited forecast volume expected from key users,” he explained, “AGY has made the decision to exit the Lot Glass business.”
