In Finland Pilkington, makes them to selected customers .

Here is one sample of some tricky glass they made.

Oneoff pieces are very expensive to manufacture and one set 10pcs of glasses will cost about 2000€ per piece so 20000€. "dual curvature" is very difficult to control so they have to make lot of test pieces before they get the shape right without any distortion (if you need E-approvals for the glasses etc).

Basicly all small windshield manufacturers make them. Price will varie a lot.
