What Steinfort Glas does

Steinfort Glas B.V. is a privately held Dutch flat glass processing and customization company headquartered in Franeker, Netherlands, founded in 2004. The company operates what it claims is the most extensive machine park in the Netherlands for flat glass processing, providing cutting, grinding, drilling, printing, hardening, and laminating under a single roof on a 24-hour, 7-day production schedule with throughput exceeding 20 tonnes of glass per day. Its proprietary technology stack includes an advanced Glaston hardening oven designed to keep glass completely flat during tempering, a vacuum lamination process minimizing delamination risk, and pioneering digital ceramic-print capability dating to 2006.

The company sells primarily B2B to construction firms, prefabricated bathroom manufacturers, social housing corporations, renovation contractors, solar panel companies, and vehicle/public-transport glass users, on a quote-based, project-driven pricing model. Its product portfolio spans custom-cut flat glass, tempered laminated glass (including 5-layer walkable glass), Kristalcolor enamelled glass, frame-printed glass, and the proprietary GLAZZpanelen prefab bathroom wall system — a 100% demountable wet-room solution with a 10-year waterproofing warranty. Customers include Van Wijnen, BAM Wonen, Sanifab, Portaal, Woonwaard, Kameleon Solar, Center Parcs, Amsterdam UMC, Hotel Jakarta, and ARTIS. Distribution combines dedicated account management for enterprise customers, direct ERP and engineering system integrations (over 60% of orders), the Mijn Steinfort self-serve portal, and an owned two-truck fleet with mounted forklifts for delivery across the Netherlands. A 2025 OPZuid-subsidized Circular Multicolour Solar Facade project positions the company to extend its printing capability into building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
