Partnerships
Among our principle partners is Glasfabrik Lamberts of Germany, the largest privately held cast glass factory in Europe.

Glasfabrik Lamberts, one of our closest partners, produces a wide range of glass products exclusively for Bendheim in North America, including channel glass and a variety of textured / patterned architectural glass. Lamberts’ deep commitment to the environment is evident throughout its 1,000,000+ square foot manufacturing facility, run on 100% renewable electricity derived from wind, hydro, and solar energy resources.

Lamberts utilizes up to 40% of post-consumer glass, recycled from the municipal waste stream. Its advanced, ultra-clean-burning, oxygen-fueled cast glass furnace is the first one of its kind in Europe. The company’s specialized cooling ponds contain grass-eating carp, eliminating the need for chemical algaecides. A sophisticated filtration system reduces plant emissions substantially below strict European air quality regulations.

Bendheim & LEED®
The LEED standard promotes long-term energy savings, reduced operational costs, a positive impact on the environment, and improved public health and welfare.
