The VW Glass factory in Dresden

September 12, 2011

I had the pleasure of visiting VW’s glass factory in Dresden in 2008 when I was living in Görlitz.

A most impressive factory. We had clean suits on and shoe coverings to visit the assembly line on a wood panelled factory floor!!! Since I was driving a rental VW Phaeton at the time I seemed to get special treatment – but perhaps it was just the same fantastic treatment that all visitors got. It was a specially organised visit and we had dinner in the glass atrium after the tour.

The Phaeton is a lovely car but I have to admit that I don’t drive a Phaeton any more and I still prefer my Mercedes as being better value for money.

With thanks to  Frizztext from whose site I got the video.
