About the company
Vitro Flat Glass LLC Vitro Architectural Glass Division is a foreign-owned manufacturer that acts as a federal grant recipient and subrecipient, delivering advanced glass materials for renewable energy applications to the Department of Energy. The vendor is not a federal contract prime and carries no SBA set-aside designations; it competes in full-and-open federal grant programs as a research and development partner.
Vitro Flat Glass operates from Cheswick, Pennsylvania, structured as a limited liability partnership and organized as a for-profit manufacturer of goods. The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated in energy research and development. As a prime grant recipient, Vitro Flat Glass holds a cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded October 1, 2023, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027, to develop a high-performance superstrate for cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskite thin-film photovoltaic modules designed to meet DOE's 2025 efficiency goal of 24% and achieve cost targets of $0.20 per watt-peak. The vendor also serves as a subrecipient under two related grants from the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, both awarded in late 2025, for demonstration and evaluation of carbon dioxide capture systems integrated with glass production processes — specifically addressing operating challenges such as moisture condensation, sulfur dioxide pre-removal, and flue-gas cooling associated with oxy-fuel combustion in industrial glass manufacturing.
Customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Energy, split between EERE (one prime award) and the Office of Fossil Energy (two sub-awards). Total obligated dollars across all three awards stands at $1.8 million. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a recompete opportunity. The vendor's recent activity pattern shows minimal federal footprint — one award in 2023 and two in 2025 — reflecting early-stage participation in DOE research initiatives rather than sustained grant program engagement.
