Amevec

What Amevec does

Amevec (Asociación Mexicana de Ventanas y Cerramientos, AC) is a Mexican non-profit professional association founded in 2010 and headquartered in Mexico City that integrates manufacturers, installers, distributors, and service companies across Mexico's window and architectural enclosure sector. The association functions as the convener, standards-setter, and certification body for the industry: it chairs the official Window and Enclosure Subcommittee under the Dirección General de Normas (DGN) of Mexico's Ministry of Economy, authored the first integral Mexican window standard (NMX-R-060-SCFI-2013), and is shepherding three additional draft standards (PROY NMX 060/068/151 2020) through public consultation for windows, doors, enclosures, and facades.

Its core offerings span three layers: (i) certification and knowledge programs including Capret AMEVEC (thermal performance), Valor AMEVEC (commercial practices and supplier validation), and Casa Pasiva AMEVEC (Passivhaus advisory staffed by Institute-certified consultants); (ii) connection platforms including the Buscador Profesional de Productos Arquitectónicos directory, MÁS AMEVEC B2B discount network, and the newly launched AMEVEC Connect digital platform (co-developed with Informa Markets for Expo CIHAC 2026); and (iii) media and events including the quarterly El Cerramiento magazine, monthly Entorno Amevec newsletter, webcasts, and the Salón AMEVEC pavilion inside Expo CIHAC.

The business model is a hybrid subscription-and-services approach. Recurring membership fees (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Impulsor tiers) form the core revenue base, supplemented by paid advisory services (Passivhaus consulting), directory/advertising listings in the Buscador Profesional, B2B transaction commissions through MÁS AMEVEC, and event-related revenue from Salón AMEVEC at Expo CIHAC. The member roster includes multinationals (Saint-Gobain, Kömmerling, Soudal, HOPPE, Guardian Glass) and Mexican leaders (Vitro, Giménez Ganga México, Cuprum Eurovent, Vitro Vidrio Arquitectónico), reaching over 20,000 verified professional contacts across Mexico and Latin America.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• BIMobject: Digital platform hosting manufacturer BIM objects and building-product data for architects and specifiers. Emerging competitor in the specification-discovery workflow that AMEVEC's Buscador Profesional de Productos Arquitectónicos currently mediates through editorial/magazine channels.

Regional players

• Cámara Argentina del Vidrio Plano y Cristalería: Argentine chamber representing flat-glass and glazing manufacturers. Most direct LATAM peer to AMEVEC outside Mexico, comparable in serving as a trade body that aggregates glass and enclosure industry players for advocacy, technical exchange, and standards coordination within the Southern Cone.
• Verband Fenster + Fassade (VFF): German trade association for windows, facades, and doors, representing the German fenestration supply chain. Peer to AMEVEC in representing manufacturers, installers, and distributors in a single national industry body, with significant influence on European window standards (EN 14351).
• Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF): UK trade federation for the glass and glazing industry, providing technical standards, training, and member services. Comparable to AMEVEC in serving as a standards-setting and member-networking body for a national fenestration sector, though focused on UK rather than Mexico/LATAM.
• Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB): UK trade association representing aluminium fenestration, curtain-wall, and rainscreen-supplier companies. Relevant regional peer given AMEVEC's exposure to aluminium systems suppliers such as Cuprum Eurovent and Giménez Ganga; comparable in delivering technical training, CPD programs, and certification to specifier audiences.

Direct peers

• National Glass Association (NGA): US trade association for the architectural glass and fenestration industry. Direct functional peer to AMEVEC: it sets industry standards, runs certification programs (e.g., Certified Glass Installer), publishes trade media, and organizes GlassBuild America — analogous in structure and revenue model to AMEVEC's standards-chairmanship + El Cerramiento + Salon AMEVEC stack.
• Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA): US trade association representing window, door, and skylight manufacturers. Directly comparable to AMEVEC in member composition (multinational fenestration brands), advocacy work, and standards-development activity, though operating at US rather than Mexican scale.
• American Architectural Manufacturers Association (FGIA / AAMA): North American association that develops fenestration performance standards (AAMA/WDMA/CSA) and certifications for window, door, and skylight products. Closest international peer to AMEVEC's role as chair of the Mexican NMX window and enclosure standards subcommittee, including on air-permeability, water-tightness, and wind-load test methods.
• International Window Film Association (IWFA): International association for the window-film and solar-control industry. Peer to AMEVEC in providing technical education, code/standards guidance, and member marketing for solar-control solutions — directly overlapping with AMEVEC's Amevec Solar program and façade-performance focus.

Others

• Passivhaus Institut: German research institute and originator of the Passivhaus standard that AMEVEC has licensed as Casa Pasiva Amevec. Functions as a partner/standard-setter rather than a competitor, but directly comparable in operating the world's leading certification framework for highly energy-efficient buildings — providing the intellectual foundation AMEVEC commercializes through Casa Pasiva.
