Swisspacer, Vetrotech Saint-Gobain International Ag, based in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, has opened a distribution center in Closter, N.J. It is the insulating glass warm edge spacer bars manufacturer’s first distribution center in North America.
Matthias Bach, CEO at Swisspacer, says, “The availability and delivery reliability of Swisspacer is a key factor in our successful entry into the North American market. Local builders and property owners can now make more agile decisions to optimize their project timelines and procurement processes, and manufacturers can compare and verify our spacer’s superior thermal performance before they decide to partner with us.”
Swisspacer’s complete product line is available, and products are customized to meet local requirements.
“We recognize energy-efficient and sustainable buildings as an important part of the American construction industry,” Bach says. “Across the U.S., the move toward zero-net-energy building codes and building certifications such as LEED are continuing to grow. Swisspacer will be an important partner in supporting that growth. With the distribution center, we are not only making our products available for the American market, but also establishing ourselves locally as a competent partner for the manufacturing of the most energy-efficient windows and facades.”
