Taiwan Glass Group For 50 years Taiwan Glass Group has been dedicated to its philosophy of persistence of advanced technology and total quality control in order to provide high-quality products to customers such as Probuild . Their signature Super Clear Glass is made up of clear float glass by reducing its green tint and iron content to achieve optimum clarity and vision . The low iron content enhances solar heat transmittance .
Simm said Taiwan Glass was the supplier for the Aurora Melbourne Central - a 92-storey tower making it the tallest in the CBD . “ They worked with us and the designers to create a custom-colour palette of high-performing glass . We enjoyed the experience of working with them and went to their production facilities - we are big supporters of their product .”

We have a great relationship with Dow , in Australia and in China .”
LG LG worked with Probuild on Aurora Melbourne Central - which was one of the largest jobs they had undertaken - to provide variable refrigerant volume multi-head air conditioning systems for the building .
Simm said : “ If there is one thing we like to talk about in Melbourne , that is the weather and the temperature so it was very important to work with a partner like LG that could provide reliable mechanical systems .
“ Aurora has more than 1,200 individual apartments and serviced apartments within the development , which are all cooled centrally by cooling towers , but locally using LG ’ s technology . We all worked closely to provide a product they were proud of , we were proud of and most importantly the owners were proud of .”
