 PROFILE
Saint-Gobain Cristalería (Cristalería) has a shiny future. The company, formerly Cristalería Española, is part of French industrial giant Saint-Gobain's expansion into Latin America. Cristalería makes a variety of glass products, primarily for the automotive and construction industries, through such subsidiaries as La Veneciana (flat glass, mirrors), Vetrotex España (glass fibers for reinforcement), and Vicasa (bottles, jars, and containers). Another subsidiary, Funditubo, makes cast-iron pipe. Cristalería has subsidiaries and plants in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain. Saint-Gobain, which owns 74% of Cristalería, is attempting to buy the outstanding shares and will delist the company.
