Belron Technical. Always one step ahead

Our dedicated R&D division, Belron Technical, is home to a select team of visionary thinkers. They focus on raising technical standards and breaking new ground in vehicle glass repair, replacement and recalibration. The team were instrumental in defining a best practice approach to repairing and replacing vehicle glass. Now, every job worldwide is carried out in the same way, helping ensure safety, drive technical quality ever higher and continuously improve the service we offer you.

Creating the best tools for the job

Belron Technical has developed a wealth of original tools to support our technicians. These include:

  • The Ezi-Wire®, which allows us to remove bonded glass without damaging the vehicle
  • The 1-Tek®, which enables a technician working alone to lift heavy pieces of glass
  • The Vanbrella®, our iconic mobile canopy, which protects our technicians from inclement weather as they work outdoors.
