JRB Glass Consulting was founded by Dr Joachim R. Bretschneider who worked for more than 30 years in the glass industry. During his career in the glass industry he worked in the R&D department as a lab manager with responsibilities for the development of new and optimised glass compositions and special measurement techniques as well as process improvement projects. He was a member of the company’s global manufacturing improvement team and had responsibilities in one of the company’s float operations (laboratory and quality manager, deputy works manager). His work resulted in new and optimised products and process improvements for the glass production and the processing of glass. He contributed also to public funded scientific research projects. He is an active member of German Society of Glass Technology (Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft) and collaborates with universities, institutes and European and International organisations like the ICG (International Commission on Glass), Technical Committee No. 10: Optical Properties of Glass. He studied physics at the Technical University in Munich and got his PhD at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

JRB Glass Consulting maintains a network with other glass and engineering experts as well as other companies. This allows the company to cooperate with others for projects requiring additional manpower and expertise.
