About Glaskompetenz
Glaskompetenz UG, based in Kalletal (Ostwestfalen-Lippe), operates as an independent glass consultancy and trading agency for the Spanish glass processor Control Glass. As agency Control Glass Germany, the company sells flat and thermally curved glass to customers in Germany, the BeNeLux countries, Austria and Switzerland – in German and English. The portfolio includes curved float glass, curved TVG/ESG (toughened/heat-strengthened glass), curved VSG (laminated safety glass) and curved insulating glass (also triple), including laminated safety glass with PVB interlayers, SentryGlas ionoplast interlayers and Vanceva colour films. Further product areas are switchable glass (Control Vision), building-integrated thin-film photovoltaics (Active.Lite, a-Si, flat and curved), fire-resistant glazing (Pyroguard, classes E30 to EI180) as well as energy-saving covers for refrigeration and deep-freeze cabinets. In addition, Glaskompetenz offers project consulting, feasibility analyses, structural detailing, approvals management including individual project approval (ZiE), referral of structural engineering firms as well as measuring and installation companies, support during building handover and a training programme on the material glass. Since the government's move to Berlin, the company has been active in structural glass construction, among others at the Reichstag, at buildings at Potsdamer Platz and in various embassies. In the regional environment (OWL, district of Schaumburg)
