VIGLACERA STRENGTHENS U.S. FOOTPRINT: TECHNICAL TILES SELECTED FOR UNIVERSITY OF IOWA GEOTHERMAL PROJECT

Viglacera has officially secured a $295,000 contract to supply specialized technical tiles to the University of Iowa. With 27 containers scheduled for export, the shipment is expected to arrive at U.S. ports by early November 2025. The products will be integrated into the university’s central HVAC cooling tower system.

A Proven Track Record in High-Precision Markets

This is not the first time Viglacera has conquered high-end projects in a market known for the world's most stringent technical requirements. In 2019, Viglacera’s technical tiles were selected for the geothermal system at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Mr. Rod Applegate, President of Tower Engineering INC (USA), revealed that the selection process for that project was exceptionally rigorous. After an exhaustive global search for a partner, only Viglacera met the full spectrum of quality and environmental standards. Mr. Applegate further noted that Viglacera tiles offer "superior load-bearing capacity, effective thermal insulation, and optimal airflow... capable of continuous use for 20 to 30 years without replacement." This endorsement from one of America’s leading material suppliers underscores the absolute trust placed in Viglacera for the University of Iowa project.

The University of Iowa is a prestigious public research institution ranked 14th in the U.S. and situated within a UNESCO-recognized "City of Literature." Spanning 1,880 acres, the university is part of an elite group of 66 top research institutions in North America. The selection of Viglacera technical tiles for a critical facility at such an iconic location proves that Vietnamese products can satisfy the most demanding aesthetic and technical benchmarks.

The Path to "Coverings 2025" and Beyond

Earlier in April 2025, Viglacera made a powerful impression at Coverings 2025 in Orlando, Florida—the premier global stage for ceramic tile and natural stone. Amidst 1,000 exhibitors from 40 countries and over 26,000 industry professionals, Viglacera showcased its "Green Material Ecosystem." This comprehensive suite of products—including ultra-white glass, energy-saving glass, and eco-friendly sanitary ware—demonstrated the brand’s alignment with global sustainable development trends.

It was at this exhibition that Mr. Mai Xuan Duc, General Director of Viglacera Tiles Trading JSC, met and signed the principle agreement with the President of Tower Engineering, paving the way for the current Iowa contract.

Asserting Global Competitiveness

Viglacera currently ranks among the Top 20 tile manufacturers globally, exporting to over 40 countries with an annual export turnover of $30 million. In the U.S. market, Viglacera has built deep-rooted partnerships with major industry players:

  • 2022: Emser Tiles Inc, a veteran U.S. importer with over 30 years of experience, chose Viglacera as its strategic partner in Southeast Asia.

  • Major Contracts: Other industry giants such as Daltile and M S International have signed multi-million dollar contracts with the corporation.

Viglacera’s success story is a vivid testament to the resilience of Vietnamese enterprises. Despite a challenging global economic backdrop and evolving trade policies, the company continues to rise based on sheer internal strength and technical excellence. This achievement serves as a powerful inspiration for other Vietnamese businesses to trust in their product quality and remain steadfast in conquering the world’s most discerning markets.
