Vitrulan Textile Glass uses finely spun glass yarn to weave extremely robust, hard-wearing, sustainable and versatile wall coverings. Not only do we offer a wide range of classical designs, we also focus on the continuous development, production, and sale of wall coverings with innovative additional functions.

Sustainability in interior design and premium product quality are hallmarks of our textile glass fabrics.

Glass Material : Innovative and Multifaceted

Technical textiles made of glass, synthetic fibers and carbon, wall coverings manufactured from glass fabrics, and modern infrared surface heating based on glass fabrics are the core products of the Vitrulan Group.

Vitrulan has around 500 employees in three locations whose tireless efforts over the decades have helped the company grow into one of most renowned solutions providers in the industry.

This all happens in close collaboration with our customers both at home and abroad. And this demands tremendous flexibility in production, storage, and logistics in order to ensure reliable delivery in the shortest possible time.

Satisfied partners around the world appreciate our expertise, premium quality, comprehensive range of services, and our ability to constantly generate new, unique ideas and developments and implement them quickly.

Quality takes determination

We are always keen to know our customers’ needs and requirements in terms of quality, cost-effectiveness, safety and environmental compatibility. By making them understood by our employees, we strive to exceed our customers’ expectations.

The Vitrulan Group enjoys a long-standing reputation as a specialist for technical products made from textile glass. Numerous partnerships, e.g. with the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, demonstrate our strong focus on research and innovation.

Ensuring customer satisfaction is therefore our top priority. To this end, we consider our most important task to be the realization of bespoke product, service, and process solutions to meet our customers’ requirements.

“Superior quality made in Germany” is the benchmark for all existing and new products.

The quality of our entire service portfolio is based on our employees’ expertise. This is why we attach great importance to training and continuing professional development. We know that our employees’ health and productivity are key to our company’s success.

We accept our responsibility to treat our environment with care and help preserve the resources on which the lives of future generations depend. Environmental protection plays a major role in our company. We are committed to working as efficiently as possible while using resources sparingly and promoting sustainability. For us, sustainability is a holistic principle that encompasses social, technological, economic, and ecological dimensions.

Sustainability at Vitrulan

Just as the threads of our fabric are tightly interwoven, we are tightly bound to the concept of sustainability. We define the term sustainability not only as the use of natural, renewable resources such as plant fibers, but above all as our responsibility to safeguard our environment for future generations. At Vitrulan, sustainability is a way of life which we are continuously refining, and which is embedded in the fields of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).

Environment

We work hard every day to improve our products and processes, make optimal use of resources, and avoid unnecessary transportation to protect the environment.

For example, we no longer use substances that are harmful to health, as confirmed by the OEKO-TEX certification. However, it is not enough to be mindful of sustainable development and production and have a circular business model – fundamental to our ethos is that our products make our customers more sustainable, too: our mesh fabrics and glass fiber wall coverings have been developed to increase the lifetime of buildings, extend renovation cycles and generate energy savings; our infrared heating systems can be virtually carbon neutral when operated in conjunction with photovoltaic modules – and without the need for heating pipes, radiators, or a boiler, they maximize resource savings; our technical textiles and composites can be used for lightweight construction, enabling wind turbines to have larger rotor blades and thus generate more energy on the same footprint, or vehicles to use less energy yet still achieve the same level of performance.

Social

We care about our employees. With their experience and diversity, they are chiefly responsible for our corporate success. Accordingly, we believe it is our responsibility to meet the needs of our employees in a sustainable manner – with a personnel and organizational strategy that offers ample scope for career development, attractive and meaningful tasks and a wide range of training and educational opportunities. But that’s still not enough: we offer flexible working models which allow staff to achieve a better work-life balance, we recognize our responsibilities to our employees in terms of safeguarding their health and upholding their workers’ rights, we promote tolerance and equal opportunities, and we support not-for-profit organizations as part of our corporate citizenship initiative.

Governance

Various conditions must be met to uphold and continuously improve a forward-looking, social and sustainable corporate governance. In addition to effective risk management, a willingness to accept responsibility, and compliance with laws, standards and voluntary codes of practice as a fundamental principle, these include transparent ESG reporting and the integration of ESG compliance rules into our corporate strategy. We are working hard as a team on the last two topics – to create a growing sustainable ESG organization which takes social and ecological aspects into account at every step.
