TECGLASS END YEAR REVIEW 2024.

The revolution introduced by digital printing technology on the flat glass industry has its own name in TECGLASS and this year has been a clear indicator of the continuous expansion and growth we are experiencing thanks to the trust of our customers.

With decades of background experience on glass business, a successful alliance with the FENZI GROUP and a clear commitment in the development of cutting-edge solutions, have consolidated us as a world leader supplier for digital printing applications for Architecture, Automotive, Home Appliances & Commercial Refrigeration business sectors. 

Innovation, high technology, development and a constant approach to the customer to understand the needs of the industry, are the hallmarks of our company, exceeding during this 2024 and an international presence in over 80 countries.

As we wrap up 2024, we’re excited to reflect on another successful year for Tecglass Digital Printing by Fenzi Group. This year has been a remarkable journey filled with growth, innovation, and accomplishments. We are proud of the strides we’ve made in advancing our mission and serving our customers.

 

Team Milestones: 18 meters digitally printed glass. 

Within this 2024 we have reached a unique milestone within the company, of which we are truly proud due to its uniqueness and exceptionality. We have manufactured a digital project with printing capacity for jumbo glass of stratospheric dimensions: 3.300 mm wide x 18.000 mm length

We share with you a photo during the acceptance tests of this digital line at the customer factory, since it is not every day that you see a 18 meters glass printed with digital technology.

                               

Company Open House 2024: Building connections and showcasing innovation.

Hosting an “Open House” has become a common event for TECGLASS as a powerful way to build connections with current and potential clients, employees, and partners. It offers a unique opportunity for businesses to showcase our products, services, and culture while creating an open environment for networking and collaboration.

Another year, our edition has been a success among the different visitors and existing customers, being able to see more closely all the manufacturing processes, both machinery and ceramic inks, as well as attending training talks of great value.

 

 

Factory expansion for the JETVER INKS manufacturing.

The ground breaking and foundation work on the back of our new building has been completed during this exciting 2024 and everything is ready to project a new extension.

This expansion will provide TECGLASS with an additional 4.000 useful square meters which will be dedicated to the expansion, improvement and optimization of our facilities for the manufacture of the full range of Jetver ceramic inks we supply for our digital printing technology.

A really necessary extension, that will bring us greater production capacity to keep up with an increasingly demanding market.

The manufacture of Jetver ceramic inks and its continuous innovation and development for new applications and market demands, has been a fundamental pillar in the concept of our business and approach to the customer, taking an absolutely relevant role and ensuring a perfect operation and balance between ink and machine.

 

Launching of the digital printer model Vitro-Jet MC Type.

 2024 was the year of the launch of the digital printer concept , the Vitro-Jet MC Type.

Conceived, engineered and powered as the little sister of our iconic “FC model”, this new printer is born as a competitive machine for the architectural sector delivering industrial production capabilities.


Vitro-Jet MC Type features a compact design with all the high-tech features of our technological concept, including the full multicolor option, extra channels available, high flow patented recirculation system and simultaneous dry technology integrated; enabling you to perform any type of printing jobs.


A digital printer designed for industrial production with relevant volumes, which can go up to 12 double print-heads ( 24 singles) , fully automated and allowing its use as “stand-alone” solution, or its integration into a Turn-key complete digital printing line, both upstream and downstream.


The perfect choice to make the leap into digital ! You can see the machine in action in the following link:

Strengthening of our sales and sales network: strategic partnerships.

Strategic partnerships and commercial expansion through business units established in origin countries, are critical for the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability of businesses and organizations. These alliances enable partners to leverage each other's strengths, resources, and expertise to achieve common goals and enhance overall performance.

This year 2024, from Tecglass we have followed our roadmap of international expansion, strengthening our position in different markets either through representation agreements of our technology, or through the establishment of our own business units that allow us to provide a better after-sales service to all our customers.

As fundamental achievements in this aspect during this 2024 we would like to highlight the representation agreements established with the following companies for the promotion and support of our digital printing technology in the following countries:
