ClearVue Technologies has just announced a game-changing partnership with Aluminium Technology Auxiliary Industries (Alutec), Qatar’s top glass processor and façade manufacturer. This five-year deal will see Alutec manufacture and distribute ClearVue’s innovative solar-embedded glass technology throughout the booming markets of India and the Middle East.
This strategic collaboration positions ClearVue to tap into the surging demand for renewable energy solutions in these regions. With governments in the Middle East and India pushing for greater energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings, ClearVue’s solar glazing and insulated glass units (IGUs) are perfectly poised to meet these needs. The construction markets in Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia alone are projected to be worth a staggering $240 billion (AU$367.53 billion) by 2029. Meanwhile, India’s building sector is set to hit an impressive $1.4 trillion (AU$2.14 trillion) as early as next year.
ClearVue’s CEO, Martin Deil, emphasized the significance of this deal: “This agreement aligns with our growth strategy to partner with key manufacturers in strategic target markets. ClearVue can immediately take advantage of these rapidly expanding markets. ClearVue offers the only high-energy clear solar vision glass on the market easily integrated into window manufacturing lines, helping building owners reduce carbon emissions while improving energy efficiency.”
Alutec, the leading building façade manufacturer in Qatar and a top-three player in the region, has been pivotal in shaping Qatar’s skyline for over two decades. This gives ClearVue a significant advantage in penetrating the local market. Additionally, Alutec’s establishment of manufacturing facilities in India further solidifies the strategy to expand into the country’s vast building sector.
Government-led initiatives and net-zero mandates in the Middle East and India are driving significant investments in renewable energy solutions. ClearVue’s technology, which transforms buildings into mini renewable energy hubs, is well-suited to help customers achieve their energy and sustainability goals. Their integrated glazing units (IGUs) feature a clear, double-glazed glass panel with a laminated plastic interlayer containing nano and microparticles. This innovative design allows light to pass through while converting ultraviolet and infrared light into electricity via thin solar strips embedded around the window edges.
ClearVue has recently expanded its product range with new building-integrated photovoltaic units (BIPVs), allowing the entire external envelope of a building façade to generate power. This versatility makes ClearVue’s technology a revolutionary force in the construction industry.
The partnership between ClearVue and Alutec represents a significant leap towards smart building materials, unlocking immense market potential in Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and India. This deal follows closely on the heels of ClearVue’s recent agreement with a greenhouse manufacturer in the United States, signaling a growing global interest in their innovative products.
