BALLISTIC GLASS
AND PROTECTION
Bulletproof glass, commonly called bullet protection glass or ballistic glass, is made of transparent materials specially designed to withstand the penetration of bullets. Tambest Oy’s product development aims for the lightest bulletproof structure on the market, and currently we have tested the BR 4 and BR 6 level products.
CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
We manufacture products with a high processing value in line with the customer’s needs as a serial production. Production is characterised by batches of a certain size, or periodical production. Products can also be made to the warehouse, from where the customer calls the orders according to their own production.
RESPONSIBILITY
Tambest Oy follows a comprehensive responsibility programme in all its operations. Environmental responsibility is the core of our production. All glass waste is directed to Uusioaines Oy for processing and film waste to industrial reuse. We participate in the HAMK waste stream programme and in the Finland Chamber of Commerce’s carbon footprint calculation programme.
QUALITY
ASSURANCE
We maintain manufacturing and quality assurance resources to ensure the high quality of products throughout their life cycle. We feel it is our responsibility to meet our customers’ expectations of a high level of quality and delivery reliability, and it is an honour for us to exceed our customers’ expectations.

Tambest Oy – certified manufacturer of SentryGlas® laminated glass, experts in complex glass structures
Tambest Oy is a certified manufacturer of SentryGlas® laminated glass, and our machinery and expertise allow us to create even the most challenging glass structures.
The SentryGlas® interlayer from the Kuraray’s AIS Structural product family is five times stronger and up to 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials. With this kind of strength, the glass can be a more active structural element in the building envelope, opening up design possibilities that didn’t exist before.
Besides its strength, SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer retains its clarity – even after years of service. Unlike other interlayers, SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer is much less vulnerable to moisture exposure or yellowing over time.
