Annotation: This article analyzes approaches to scaling the business of manufacturing protective glass for mobile devices. The stages of the technological chain—mechanical grinding and polishing, ion-exchange chemical tempering, application of multifunctional coatings, and laser edge treatment (LET)—are examined alongside strategies for business expansion in this field. It demonstrates how supply-chain and partner-ecosystem models, together with multicriteria decision analysis (AHP, PROMETHEE), can inform optimal investment and market-selection decisions. A step-by-step industrialization plan—from pilot line to mass production—is outlined, leveraging Lean/Six Sigma and digital IoT/MES solutions. To ensure consistent quality, a comprehensive control system is proposed, incorporating optical inspection and continuous equipment-parameter monitoring. The scientific novelty lies in integrating technological, organizational-management, and digital approaches to achieve sustainable capacity growth without compromising protective-glass quality. The insights presented will interest researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering, operations management of high-tech manufacturing, strategic planning, and venture investment in the consumer-electronics sector.
