The SANCO Group has further strengthened its position in Eastern Europe by welcoming VAK Insulating and Design Glass from Slovakia as a new partner within its Europe-wide network. The agreement marks another strategic step in SANCO’s ongoing expansion, reinforcing its commitment to regional growth and technical cooperation across the insulating glass sector.

Founded in 1992, VAK Insulating and Design Glass has developed into one of Slovakia’s established suppliers of functional and design glass solutions for building envelopes, façades, and interior applications. Operating with a team of around 20 employees, the company manufactures approximately 37,000 square metres of insulating glass annually, with production largely focused on triple glazing systems. Beyond insulating glass units, VAK also produces glass partition walls and customised interior glass solutions, allowing it to serve both architectural and interior design markets with a broad, practical portfolio.

According to Managing Director Marek Vanco, the partnership represents a significant opportunity for growth and technical development. By joining SANCO’s network, VAK gains access to shared expertise, certified test documentation, and joint marketing initiatives that support visibility and competitiveness within the European market. The company’s operating philosophy continues to emphasise close collaboration with small and medium-sized businesses, as well as private clients, offering complete service from initial planning through to final implementation.

Antonio Gioello, Head of SANCO Consulting, described the collaboration as a valuable addition to the group, highlighting VAK’s long-standing experience, strong quality standards, and customer-focused approach. VAK becomes the third Slovak partner within the SANCO network, further consolidating the alliance’s regional footprint.

With more than 60 active members across 14 countries, SANCO remains Europe’s largest alliance of insulating glass manufacturers, supported by Swiss licensor Glas Trösch Group. Its partners collectively deliver energy-efficient glazing systems for windows, façades, and advanced interior glass applications, strengthening innovation and performance across the European glass industry.
