Glaswerke Haller Gmbh

What Glaswerke Haller Gmbh does

Glaswerke Haller GmbH is a family-owned German glass finisher headquartered in Kirchlengern, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 1946. The company specialises in custom technical, safety, architectural and design glass solutions delivered through a vertically integrated single-site operation that covers cutting, water-jet cutting, edging, CNC processing, drilling, bending, chemical hardening (proprietary "Sichem" ion-exchange process), thermal toughening ("Sitherm"), autoclave lamination ("Siplex"), screen printing ("Sicolor"), anti-reflective coating ("Siflex AR"), sandblasting, UV/silicone bonding, bevelling and assembly. Its proprietary product brands are engineered to meet safety standards including EN 12150, EN 12543, EN 12337 and DIN 18032-3, with specialty variants such as Siplex VSG-S Plus ball-resistant glass at 4.8 mm thickness and Sitec ITO conductive glass for heating and EMI shielding.

The company sells primarily B2B via direct enterprise sales, with area sales managers and internal sales staff organised separately for technical glass domestic, technical glass export, and architecture & design. Pricing is quote-based on customer specification rather than list-priced; trade-show presence (e.g., Embedded World 2025) and a bilingual German/English website serve as primary demand-generation channels. Customer applications span industrial machine guards, public-transport and airport displays, HMI/touch panels for measurement and medical technology, self-service and vending terminals, e-mobility charging equipment, smart-home devices, and furniture/interior design. Quality is managed under ISO 9001:2015 (TÜV certificate valid 2024-2027). Leadership is provided by Managing Director Andreas Bollmann, with Stephan Reimann heading sales and business development, Kerstin Kleine-Kollmeier leading finance, and Dirk Tausend as Operations Manager. The firm has no disclosed outside investors, parent company, or public listing, and operates as an independent Mittelstand business.

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain: Global French building materials and flat glass giant with broad portfolio across construction, automotive, and industrial glass. Comparable as a much larger incumbent offering overlapping technical and safety glass products, but at a vastly different scale and product breadth.
• NSG Group (Pilkington): Global glass manufacturer producing flat glass, automotive glass, and technical glass products. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving architectural, automotive, and specialty technical segments with significant overlap to Haller's product categories.
• Fuyao Glass Industry Group: Chinese-headquartered global automotive and industrial glass supplier. Comparable as a large incumbent with technical and safety glass capabilities, particularly relevant for Haller's transportation/PID and industrial display segments.
• Nippon Sheet Glass: Japanese global glass manufacturer (parent of Pilkington) producing architectural, automotive, and technical glass. Comparable as a broad incumbent with technical and specialty glass product lines.
• AGC Inc. (Asahi Glass): Japanese-headquartered global glass manufacturer producing flat, automotive, display, and specialty glass worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent with technical glass offerings that overlap Haller's chemical strengthening, AR coating, and laminated safety glass capabilities.

Direct peers

• Corning Incorporated: US-based specialty glass and ceramics leader with proprietary Gorilla Glass and display glass technologies serving HMI, automotive, and electronics customers. Comparable for its focus on hardened, coated, and functional glass for display and industrial applications — a segment Haller also targets with Sichem, Siflex AR, and Siplex Touch.
• SCHOTT AG: German specialty glass manufacturer producing technical, safety, and architectural glass including chemically strengthened and laminated products. Closely comparable as a German Mittelstand-rooted fabricator serving industrial, architectural, and electronics customers with proprietary branded glass technologies.
• Gerresheimer AG: German specialty glass and plastic manufacturer serving pharma, healthcare, and cosmetics with high-precision glass components. Comparable as a custom glass fabricator operating from Germany with strong vertical integration and B2B focus on regulated end-markets.

Regional players

• Glas Trösch: Swiss-headquartered glass processor with strong DACH-region presence in architectural, interior, and technical glass fabrication. Comparable as a regional peer offering overlapping custom processing services to similar European customer segments.

Emerging players

• Auer Lighting: German specialty glass manufacturer focused on lighting, technical, and optics applications. Comparable as a smaller German specialty glass fabricator with similar B2B custom processing capabilities and Mittelstand operating profile.
