Vitralum Industries

What Vitralum Industries does

Vitralum Industries is a US-based architectural aluminum fenestration manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered at 1401 East Higgins, Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The company designs, fabricates, and supplies aluminum storefront, door, curtain wall, and thermal window systems for commercial, institutional, and high-end residential projects. Its core product catalog centers on four systems: the 451T Thermal Storefront (a 4.5" depth thermally broken framing system), Standard Storefront Doors (1.75" depth doors in narrow, medium, and wide stile configurations), Bifold Storefront Doors (heavy-duty top-hung panels for wide openings), and the 2500 STH Thermal Window line (polyamide thermal-break aluminum windows in fixed and vented configurations); the company also provides procurement and fabrication services for commercial curtain wall and frameless interior partitions.

Vitralum controls the full value chain in-house, from system development through fabrication, supported by a "European-inspired" design heritage and a team of designers and craftsmen. Standard finishes include Class I anodized in clear and black-bronze, with project-specific custom paint, powder coat, and anodizing available on request. Named commercial and residential installations include Nobu bifold doors, a Jackson commercial project, an N. Milwaukee storefront, and several high-end residential projects (Mulvihill, Wayne, 9104, Lincoln Park West).

The business operates a direct, project-based go-to-market: customers engage the company by phone (847-439-3136) or email ([email protected]) for custom consultation, with pricing quoted per project rather than published. Distribution is single-country domestic (United States) and revenue is generated through one-time product sales plus custom fabrication/professional services revenue streams. The firmographics block reports 1-10 employees, and revenue is not disclosed.
