The SANCO Group is pleased to welcome VAK Insulating and Design Glass from Slovakia as a new member of its Europe-wide network.

By adding the long-established glass manufacturer to its partner base, SANCO is strengthening its presence in Eastern Europe and continuing its successful growth strategy.

Founded in 1992, VAK is now one of Slovakia’s established suppliers of high-quality functional and design glass for building, façade, and interior applications. With a workforce of around 20 employees, the company produces approximately 37,000 square metres of insulating glass each year, almost exclusively in triple glazing. In addition to insulating glass, VAK also manufactures glass partition walls and other interior glass solutions.

Managing Director Marek Vanco sees clear benefits in the partnership: ‘It strengthens our position in the market and gives us access to knowledge transfer, test certificates, and the joint marketing activities of the SANCO Group.’ The company places particular emphasis on personal consultation, flexible solutions, and close cooperation with small and medium-sized businesses as well as private customers. Its comprehensive service package, from planning to implementation, ensures maximum customer proximity and practical, needs-based solutions.

‘We are delighted to welcome VAK as the third Slovak partner company in our SANCO family,’ says Antonio Gioello, Head of SANCO Consulting. 'VAK brings many years of experience, high quality standards and strong customer focus to our group.’
