What EVERLAM does
EVERLAM is a privately held Belgian specialty chemicals manufacturer that produces Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer films for architectural laminated safety glass. The company was established in February 2015 when it acquired DuPont's Butacite PVB extrusion operation in Hamm-Uentrop, Germany, inheriting 35+ years of manufacturing heritage, equipment, and product reputation. Headquartered in Mechelen, Belgium, EVERLAM operates an integrated Center of Competence combining commercial headquarters, an R&D laboratory, and a technical center, with production anchored at the German plant featuring jumbo-width (3.21m) extrusion capability.
EVERLAM's product portfolio comprises four core PVB interlayer lines: EVERLAM CLEARVIEW (high-transparency next-generation film with reduced yellowness index for premium optical clarity), EVERLAM SUPER TOUGH (high-modulus structural PVB for demanding applications such as balustrades, curtain walls, and overhead glazing), EVERLAM WHITE/WHITES (including Satin White and Translucent White for privacy applications), and EVERLAM COLORED (mineral-toned interlayers in blue, green, bronze, and grey for architectural aesthetics). The technology centers on proprietary PVB formulations optimized for safety (fragment retention), structural performance, optical clarity, UV blocking, and acoustic damping, with an emerging smart-film research line via the SUNOVATE EU consortium.
EVERLAM generates revenue primarily through direct B2B sales of PVB interlayer rolls to safety glass processors and laminators, with quote-based enterprise pricing that varies by product type, thickness, volume, and certification requirements. Revenue is supplemented by technical services including lamination line start-up, process optimization, quality control, and qualification support, with the company emphasizing hands-on customer engagement as a key differentiator. Its customer base spans architectural projects (commercial facades, hospitals, airports, cruise ships), security applications (hurricane, blast, bullet resistance), and a horizontal network of glass processors across EMEA and the Americas.
