Pilkington plc
 PROFILE
Cracking up is not an option at Pilkington. The company makes glass for the automotive and building products industries in more than 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, and the Asia/Pacific region. Its automotive products include solar control glass, glass heating systems, and security glazing; building products include glass used to control energy and to protect against fire. In the 1950s Pilkington pioneered the "float" method of making glass (molten glass is cooled on the surface of a pool of molten tin) and licenses that method to more than 40 manufacturers in 30 countries. Pilkington planned to acquire an 80% stake in the glass division of auto parts maker Visteon, but it has since abandoned the effort.
