Vitro S.A.B. de C.V., a leading glass manufacturer in North America, announced through its architectural glass business the expansion of its contract with the largest vertically integrated solar manufacturer in the Americas, First Solar, which was announced last April. This expansion aims to provide the glass front sheets used in advanced thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar panels manufactured by First Solar.
Aligned with the Company's international expansion plans, this operation represents approximately $1.3 billion dollars in sales over the next 10 years, in addition to the sales covered by the initial contract, estimated at a similar amount.
