Our company

Specialty glass, engineered for hard problems.

VitriTech, founded by glass experts in 2010, is a specialty glass melting business manufacturing products for the oil & gas, tunnelling, medical and marine markets — with the potential to serve many more.

Who we are

A specialty glass melting business

We design and melt engineered glass compositions whose properties are tuned to the environment they are deployed in — coping with the demands of pH, temperature and surrounding fluids while delivering functional ions exactly where they are needed.

Our work spans four active markets today — oil & gas, tunnelling & construction, medical and marine — built on a single core capability: controlled-dissolution glass chemistry.

How we work

Research-led, partnership-driven

We are actively developing technology, in partnership with Glass Technology Services, to reinforce or seal mineral structures in oil drilling, construction and tunnelling — along with products to coat marine transportation to reduce drag and improve energy efficiency.

Glass Technology Services develops glass products to solve technical issues and provides exclusive R&D resources, allowing us to respond quickly and efficiently to the changing demands of our customers and markets.
