Eventually, Pilkington expects to earn about $240 million annually from the float process in license fees, royalties and exports: the new tint process will add another $24 million a year to that. Meanwhile controlling 85% of British glassmaking and exporting its own products to 100 nations around the world, Pilkington foresees a future as shiny...
