Yachtglass and Hard Glass launch joint venture Ocean Glass

In a strategic move set to make waves across the global yachting industry, Yachtglass (Germany) and Hard Glass (Italy) - two of Europe’s most respected marine glass manufacturers - are proud to announce the launch of their joint venture OCEAN GLASS.
The collaboration brings together decades of engineering excellence and craftsmanship at a time when the demand for advanced glazing solutions on large yachts is reaching new heights. With superyacht exteriors increasingly featuring hundreds of square meters of custom glass, and interiors designed to flood with natural light, the role of high-performance marine glazing has never been more critical.

Between them, Yachtglass and Hard Glass have supplied thousands of precision-engineered windows for some of the world’s most prestigious yachts - some of them exceeding 120 meters in length. While both companies will continue to operate independently and maintain their existing customer relationships, OCEAN GLASS will serve as a dedicated platform to develop new markets and deliver innovative solutions to emerging shipyards around the world.

Silvia Buck, CEO of Yachtglass, stated:“This strategic partnership merges German engineering precision with Italian design expertise. Together, we’re poised to deliver custom, high-specification glass solutions for the most sophisticated superyachts on the market. We’re particularly focused on expanding our presence in Turkey, the Middle East, and Asia - regions where demand for premium European craftsmanship continues to grow.”
Fiorenzo Furlan, president of Hard Glass, added: “OCEAN GLASS represents the fusion of uncompromising quality and refined aesthetics at sea. Our new venture is committed to delivering marine glass systems that meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and design. Partnering with Yachtglass allows us to scale our vision and set new benchmarks for the industry.”

The official debut of OCEAN GLASS will take place at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show, the superyacht industry’s premier global event. Visitors are invited to meet the teams at Stand DS 57 in Darse Sud, where Yachtglass and Hard Glass will jointly present their new venture and showcase the full scope of their capabilities.
