GlassBuild America 2025, held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, showcased the latest developments in glass, glazing, hardware, and architectural metal industries. The event provided a platform for companies to announce new initiatives, display products, and strengthen business relationships.
Vitro Architectural Glass announced a long-term agreement to manufacture VacuMax vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units in North America. The partnership with VIG Technologies and LandVac allows Vitro to acquire equipment and licensing for domestic production, aiming to accelerate VIG adoption. Vitro president Ricardo Maiz stated, “This agreement positions us to meet growing demand for VIG products and streamline the supply chain with direct shipping. It’s a key step toward expanding VIG production across multiple lines and locations in North America.”
LiteSentry-Softsolution highlighted its Osprey 25 system, a 360-degree distortion scanning platform that combines LiteSentry’s Osprey Complete with Softsolution’s LineScanner. Development manager John Singleton explained the system consolidates distortion, anisotropy, and defect inspection results into a single software package, streamlining quality control and eliminating separate data processing.
Software innovations also took center stage. A+W Software introduced its Order Entry Artificial Intelligence system, while Seclock launched Source Mode, a web-based platform offering an app-like experience for project management, quoting, and submittals. Angela Blankenship from Seclock emphasized the tool helps small- to medium-sized companies manage projects, budgets, and submittals efficiently online. 
GlassBuild returns in 2026 in Las Vegas, continuing to serve as a hub for industry innovation.
