What Tvitec System Sl does
Tvitec System Glass, S.L. is a privately-held Spanish industrial manufacturer founded in 2007 and headquartered in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), with operational headquarters and primary plants in Cubillos del Sil and Cabañas Raras (León). The company is one of Europe's largest processors of high-performance architectural glass, transforming approximately 2.75 million tonnes of flat and curved glass annually across nearly 300,000 m² of Industry 4.0 automated manufacturing surface. Product lines include double and triple insulating glazing (Isolar), oversized flat glass up to 12 metres (Gran Dimensión), cold- and hot-bent curved glass (Tvitec Curvo, including wholly-owned subsidiary Cricursa), laminated safety glass (Lamistar), digitally screen-printed textured glass that mimics natural materials (Rocalux), luxury precious-metal-printed glass (Tvitec Gold), bird-friendly glass, and a specialised nautical glazing line. Glass is sourced from tier-one coating and interlayer partners including Saint-Gobain, Guardian Glass, AGC, Glastroesch, DuPont SentryGlas, and Vanceva.
Tvitec sells exclusively on a B2B project basis to façade contractors, architectural studios, and large corporate/developers. Pricing is custom quote-based with no public pricing tiers; contracts are multi-year and tied to landmark construction projects across banking (HSBC Panorama St. Paul's London), pharmaceuticals (AstraZeneca Discovery Centre Cambridge), fashion retail (Inditex Zara flagship Madrid), luxury hospitality (Ritz-Carlton, Virgin Hotels, Four Seasons, Six Senses), education (University of Calgary), government (Haren Prison Belgium), and superyacht shipbuilding (Freire Shipyard's Renaissance). Distribution is global — manufacturing in Spain, Portugal (Maia/Porto), and Brazil (Guarulhos/São Paulo), with project deliveries into 60+ countries across five continents — and the company states 2,500+ completed projects worldwide.
Revenue is generated through hardware sales of bespoke manufactured glass units, with the company disclosing approximately EUR 200 million in annual billing growing at an average rate of 20% per year, supported by a workforce of around 600 specialised professionals. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CEKAL, RAL-RG 520/525, IGMAC, IGCC/IGMA, BSI Kitemark, CSTB PASS VEC, and Tecnalia Technical Conformity certifications, enabling LEED, BREEAM, and WELL building-standard compliance for customers. Strategic priorities visible in the data include a EUR 60 million investment in a new Rocalux plant at El Bayo (Cubillos del Sil) and continued geographic expansion in the Americas and Iberian-Atlantic region.

- CricursacoreTvitec and Cricursa operate as a combined entity 'Tvitec | Cricursa'. Cricursa specialises in curved glass manufacturing while Tvitec handles flat glass and overall glass processing. Together they form one of Europe's largest high-performance architectural glass processors with integrated capabilities for flat, curved, oversized, and specialty glass products. The partnership enables both companies to offer comprehensive glass solutions across all building types and nautical applications.
- Saint-GobaincoreSaint-Gobain supplies Cool Lite SK coatings for Tvitec's double-glazed insulating glass units used in flagship projects such as Panorama St. Paul's London. The coating technology enables optimal solar control, thermal insulation, and energy efficiency in Tvitec's high-performance glass products.
- Guardian GlasscoreGuardian Glass supplies solar control coatings (SuperNeutral, HP Neutral, HP Silver, 50/32, SNX 50/23, Climaguard) and extraclear glass used across Tvitec's product range including double and triple glazing for major projects such as Castellana 77, La Seine Musicale, One Vanderbilt, 98 Front Street, and MacKimmie Tower. Guardian coatings are fundamental to Tvitec's energy-efficient insulating glass performance.
- AGC (Asahi Glass Company)coreAGC supplies glass substrates and coatings including Iplus Top 1.1, Ipasol Shine, and low-emission coatings used in Tvitec's triple-glazed units. Notably used in the AstraZeneca Discovery Centre project with AGC Ipasol Shine and Iplus Top coatings on Guardian extraclear substrates.
- SentryGlas (DuPont)coreSentryGlas interlayers from DuPont are used in Tvitec's high-security laminated glass products, particularly for bullet-resistant (BR6) applications such as Haren Prison in Belgium and nautical glazing for the Renaissance megayacht. SentryGlas provides superior post-breakage performance and structural integrity compared to standard PVB interlayers.
- Focchi SpAcoreItalian façade specialist Focchi SpA installed the building envelope for Panorama St. Paul's London, one of London's most significant building refurbishments. Tvitec supplied over 9,000 m² of high-performance architectural glass for this project. Focchi is a key façade contractor partner for major UK and European projects.
- TecnaliamajorTecnalia, Spain's largest applied research and technology development centre, evaluated and issued the Technical Conformity (TC) certificate for Tvitec's Rocalux Ventilated Facade.
