Marc Foguenne

AGC Europe


Marc Foguenne earned a masters degree in chemical engineering at the Catholic University of Louvain-La-Neuve (Belgium) in 1990. His PhD in applied chemistry,  obtained in 1996, focused on an innovative technology to separate vanadium and molybdenum ions, diluted in aqueous solutions. He joined then the R&D center of Glaverbel (that was taken over later by AGC), where he led the Glass Melting and Refractory team. Four years later, he moved to a glass manufacturing plant for seven years, before spending one year in South East Asia to do a global benchmark of glass manufacturing processes between AGC Japan/Asia and AGC Europe. As a next assignment, he was in charge of the manufacturing coordination activity for AGC Europe, and then he was appointed as manufacturing Director. In 2014 and 2015, he was promoted as Chief Technology Officer and manufacturing Director for AGC North America, where he spent two years. Since 2016, he is Vice President, Technology and Innovation, for AGC Glass Europe. He is located at the Technovation of AGC, in Belgium, where 280 people are dealing with R&D, Innovation, Intellectual Property, Engineering and products life cycle analysis.
