What Glastech does

Glastech (UAB "Glastech") is a Lithuanian wholesale distributor and solutions provider for the glass processing and window, door, and facade manufacturing industries, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Alytus. The company resells a broad catalogue of equipment, tools, and consumables — including glass cutting and diamond tools, polishing discs, insulated glass unit (IGU) production lines, vacuum and battery-powered glass lifters, jib and gantry cranes, aluminum and PVC profile processing machines, welding and cleaning systems, and assembly centers — sourced from international principals such as Elumatec AG, Bystronic Lenhardt GmbH, Technoform Glass Insulation, Artifex Dr. Lohmann, Bohle, Bottero, Powr-Grip, ADK, SOGELUB, and Delfin.

The company's business model is B2B wholesale distribution with a value-added services layer. Glastech operates as the official Lithuanian (and in some cases Baltic/Belarus) representative for its principals, generating revenue primarily through one-time equipment and consumable sales, with secondary streams from warranty and post-warranty maintenance and repair, spare parts and urgent same/next-day delivery, sales of used equipment, and production process optimization consulting. Pricing is quote-based; one publicly listed SKU (Delfin MTL 802 WDP industrial vacuum) is shown from 1,090.00 EUR. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has been recognized with consecutive Lithuanian Gazelle Awards (2015-2017) for sustained 20%+ annual revenue growth.

Following its 2011 buyout from the Finnish Glastech group, the company operates as an independent Lithuanian private limited company with 11-50 employees. Its market coverage centers on Lithuania with expanding reach into Latvia, Estonia, and Belarus through agency agreements. Customers are horizontal within the construction-supply chain — insulated glass manufacturers, glaziers, and PVC/aluminum window, door, and facade producers — and the company positions itself as a single-source supplier for the full equipment and consumables lifecycle, including external warehousing for regular customers.
