Tecglass

What Tecglass does

Tecglass S.L. is a Spanish industrial supplier founded in 2002 in Lalín, Pontevedra, that serves glass processors in Spain and Portugal. Since 2016 it has operated as a subsidiary of Italy's Grupo Fenzi, a global leader in chemicals for secondary flat-glass processing. The company runs two business lines: consumables and machinery. Its consumables catalog spans sealants (THIOVER polysulfide, POLIVER polyurethane, BUTYLVER butyl and BUTYLVER TPS thermoplastic spacers, HOTVER hot-melt), molecular sieves (MOLVER Zeolite 3A), ceramic inks (TEMPVER for automotive, architecture, appliance, and container-glass applications; AQUAGLASS water-based paints), and a full spacer range from traditional aluminum profiles (H 65) and galvanized steel (FERROTECH) to stainless-steel and polymer warm-edge spacers (CHROMATECH, CHROMATECH ULTRA F, THERMIX TX PRO, MULTITECH G). Its machinery portfolio combines Tecglass-developed digital printers for ceramic inks with Glaston industrial lines: insulated glass production (JUMBO, SPEED, VARIO, COMPACT/COMFORT), flat tempering (FC, RC, JUMBO Series, GlastonAir), bending and tempering (HTBS, ProBend, ScreenMax, Matrix), laminating (ProL), and automotive/display processing (CHAMP, BRIGHT series).

Tecglass makes money through hardware sales of capital machinery (own digital printers and Glaston equipment), consumable one-time purchases that recur as IG production volume grows, and technical service / upgrade work for diverse machine brands. Pricing is opaque and inquiry-based; customers request quotes through the website or direct contact. The go-to-market is sales-led, executed through a domestic direct-sales team, a Spanish-language product-catalog site, participation in glass-industry trade shows such as Vitrum, and email/newsletter nurturing. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and CEKAL certifications (the latter for MOLVER molecular sieves), and is integrated with Fenzi Group affiliates (ALU-PRO, Rolltech, Alupro) for warm-edge spacer production and aluminum accessories.

Core offering

Tecglass manufactures and sells industrial machinery and consumables for the flat-glass processing industry. Its equipment line includes digital ceramic-ink printers, insulated glass (IG) unit production lines, and tempering furnaces, while its consumables line covers sealants, desiccants, spacers, and ceramic inks used in architectural, automotive, and IG glass production. The company sells these products and services to industrial glass processors, laminators, and IG-unit manufacturers.

Product overview

Tecglass is a Spanish company (founded 2002, part of Fenzi Group since 2016) offering a comprehensive portfolio for the glass industry spanning two main categories: Consumables and Machinery. Consumables include sealants (polysulfide THIOVER, polyurethane POLIVER, butyl BUTYLVER and BUTYLVER TPS, hot-melt HOTVER), desiccants (molecular sieve MOLVER), ceramic inks (TEMPVER for multiple applications, AQUAGLASS water-based paints), and spacers (traditional aluminum H 65 and FERROTECH galvanized steel; warm edge CHROMATECH, CHROMATECH ULTRA F, THERMIX TX PRO, and MULTITECH G). Machinery includes their own digital printers for ceramic inks plus Glaston equipment: insulated glass production lines (JUMBO XXL, SPEED, VARIO, COMPACT/COMFORT), individual machines (washers, edge processors, sealers, fillers, benders, assemblers), glass manipulators (VACOOM'LIFTER, EASY'LIFTERS, cranes), flat tempering furnaces (FC SERIES, RC SERIES, JUMBO SERIES, GLASTON AIR), bending/tempering furnaces (HTBS, ProBend, ScreenMax, Matrix), laminating lines (ProL), and automotive/display glass machines (CHAMP, BRIGHT series). The company operates as both manufacturer and distributor for leading glass industry brands.
