Miroiterie Righetti

What Miroiterie Righetti does

Miroiterie Righetti is a French manufacturer of technical and decorative flat glass products, founded in 1835 and headquartered in Fléville (near Nancy) in the Grand Est region. The company operates a 4,500m² production facility equipped with France's first automatic glass storage and supply system (366-tonne capacity), the country's first bilateral shaping machines, and the first vertical CNC machining centers dedicated to glass. Its product portfolio spans three core pillars: safety glass under the SECUVER® brand (tempered, HST-tempered, and EVA-laminated tempered glass), decorative laminated glass under brands including METALICA® (metallic mesh inserts), Classica, Colora, and Natura, and smart switchable-opacity glass under the INOVA® brand using liquid crystal film technology. Additional offerings include the GARDA® glass balustrade system (integrating SADEV and ONLEVEL profile hardware), and a broad technical/traditional catalog covering fire-resistant, bullet-resistant, lead, vacuum-insulated (FINEO), curved, and mirrored glass.

The company serves a dual B2B/B2C customer base, with primary B2B clients being architects, construction firms, real estate developers, glaziers, and contractors who require custom-dimension, safety-compliant glazing for projects ranging from residential renovations to cruise ships (Harmony of the Seas) and government memorials (Verdun). B2C consumers access the company through a showroom in Fléville for kitchen splashbacks, shower screens, partitions, and interior glazing. Revenue is generated through both supply-only sales (one-time purchases with deposit structures of 50-100% upfront depending on production lead time and order size) and a full supply-and-installation service ("fourniture et pose"). Pricing is quote-based, tied to dimensions and complexity, with minimum billing thresholds (0.25-0.50 m²) and a €30 minimum invoice; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Righetti holds QUALIBAT certifications 4612 and 4711, is a member of Saint-Gobain's Reseau Expert Vitrage and Climalit Partners networks, and is a recognized member of Verriers d'Aujourd'hui and the FFPV/UDTVP trade associations. With approximately 35 employees and €6.2M of disclosed revenue (FY2021), the company is family-owned, privately held, and continuously operated for nearly 190 years. Distribution is domestic to France, with regional concentration in Grand Est and project-driven national reach for complex technical installations.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Tryba: French windows, doors, and glazing manufacturer and installer with a national retail network. Comparable to Righetti in serving French B2B/B2C customers for windows, balustrades, and decorative glazing, though Tryba is positioned more downstream at the retail/installation layer.
• View: US-based smart-glass specialist producing electrochromic dynamic glazing for commercial buildings. Closely comparable to Righetti's INOVA® switchable LCD glass product line in core value proposition (controllable light/heat transmission in building envelopes) though View serves a larger commercial scale.
• SageGlass: Saint-Gobain subsidiary specializing in electrochromic smart glass for building façades and interiors. Directly comparable to Righetti's INOVA® switchable-opacity offering in product function and end-use case (privacy/glare/energy control), but with significantly greater R&D resources and global project reach.

Broad incumbents

• Pilkington (NSG Group): One of the world's largest architectural glass manufacturers (part of NSG Group). Comparable as a raw glass supplier to Righetti (Pilkington is a listed input) and as an end-market player across architectural, safety, and specialty glazing categories.
• Vitro Architectural Glass: North America's largest architectural glass manufacturer (formerly PPG Glass). Comparable across architectural float, coated, and laminated product categories that overlap with Righetti's traditional and decorative glass offerings.
• Guardian Glass: Global float and fabricated glass manufacturer serving architectural and specialty construction. Listed as one of Righetti's float-glass suppliers and competes broadly in tempered, laminated, and coated architectural glass products.
• Schott AG: German specialty glass maker (fire-resistant, bullet-resistant, technical and architectural glass). Directly comparable to Righetti's technical-glass product lines (Verre Pare-Feu, Verre Pare-Balle, Verre au Plomb, Verre Bombé) though operating at a much larger international scale.
• AGC Glass Europe: Major European flat-glass producer (subsidiary of AGC Inc., Japan). Righetti procures float glass from AGC, and the two companies overlap in serving architectural and specialty glass end-markets across Europe, though at very different scales and scopes.
• Saint-Gobain Glass: Global glass manufacturer and Righetti's largest raw-glass supplier and network partner (Réseau Expert Vitrage Saint-Gobain, Climalit Partners). Comparable across target end-markets (architectural, decorative, smart glazing) but vastly larger scale, broader product portfolio, and own SageGlass smart-glass subsidiary.

Regional players

• Euroglas: European float-glass manufacturer with production in Germany, Poland, and Romania. Comparable to Righetti as a regional European flat-glass player serving construction markets, though Euroglas operates at basic float-glass production rather than fabrication scale.
