What ES METALS does

ES METALS (legal entity CI ES METALS S.A.S.) is a custom architectural metal fabricator specializing in building envelope products, including facades, cladding systems, louvers, screens, pergolas, and railings. The company operates as a member company of Tecnoglass Inc. Group (NYSE), the largest architectural glass transformation company in Latin America and the second largest glass fabricator serving the United States. Its commercial headquarters is in Miami, Florida, with manufacturing and operations anchored at Tecnoglass's 3.6 million square foot vertically-integrated complex in Barranquilla, Colombia. ES METALS serves the commercial and residential construction industries across the United States, Colombia, and Guatemala through a project-based B2B model in which it collaborates directly with architects and contractors from conceptualization through installation, employing 126 staff.

The company's product portfolio is organized into four divisions: Custom Metal Facades (perforated, corrugated, volumetric, and expanded aluminum panels), Architectural Cladding Systems (HPL panels and extruded aluminum), Louvers & Screens (including the proprietary Luviline sub-brand), and Pergolas & Cabanas (motorized and fixed configurations). Core technical capabilities include CNC machining, laser cutting, custom perforation patterns, and certified weather-resistance performance to AMCA 540/550 and TAS 201/202/203 standards with Florida building code approval for hurricane-zone construction. Notable projects span JW Marriott, Aston Martin Residences, Ritz Carlton Residences, Hilton Aventura, One Flagler, Five Park Residences, Arthrex, and Jaguar/Land Rover facilities.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based contracts with architects, developers, and contractors, with pricing structured as custom bids rather than standardized rates. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales targeting the architecture and construction specification community, supported by a digital presence across the company website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The company does not utilize resellers or retail channels and operates within the Tecnoglass Inc. corporate group for sourcing, manufacturing scale, and cross-border distribution.
