According to glassBYTES.com, Effective June 24, Vitro America will exit the automotive glass distribution business and focus solely on its “core strength” the architectural glass and aluminum business, according to a letter faxed to auto glass distribution customers on June 17th.

“For many years, Vitro America has been a leading fabricator and distributor of products in 2 separate and distinct segments of “the glass business”… Architectural and Aluminum, and Automotive Replacement Glass. Over the years both have become much more complex, requiring full dedication and commitment by all employees involved in order to maintain continued success.” writes Charles Witherington, vice president and general manager of the company.

He continues, “It has become increasingly difficult to be a leader in both businesses. Therefore, Vitro America has made the decision to exit the auto glass distribution business, and focus our efforts 100 percent in Architectural Glass and Aluminum. We have always viewed the latter as our core strength, and will now be able to commit all personnel and resources to the Flat Glass business in the future.”

As of yet, officials from Vitro America have declined to comment, but advised the company soon would be issuing a press release regarding the changes, as shop owners learn of the news many question what the future might hold.
