Vitro plans to invest an additional $180 million to upgrade one of its furnaces at its Meadville, Pennsylvania plant and adapt other facilities to support First Solar's growing manufacturing capacity.
Vitro expanded its contract with First Solar to supply $1.3 billion of glass front sheets for thin-film solar panels over the next 10 years, broadening an original $1.2 billion deal from May. Production for the expansion is set to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
Owens-Illinois (O-I) acquired a just over 49.7% interest in Empresas Comegua S.A., Central America's leading glass container maker, from a subsidiary of Vitro for $119 million.
