vitroplena, or free translated from Latin: 'completely out of glass' is a consultancy office specialised in expertise, design, engineering and realisation of architectural and/or structural glas applications

vitroplena was founded as a Ghent University spin-off by dr. ir. Kenny Martens, after receiving a Ph.D. for his work on structural glass beam systems. In meantime, glass expert dr. ir. Bert Van Lancker and glassifier ir. Leen Marien joined our company. We plan to grow further and expand our team in the near future with the aim of boosting our international activities

vitroplena is a dynamic, flexible and thrustworthy team that - through creativity, a strong material knowledge and significant calculation power - offers support and boosts innovation in the architectural glass world, no matter where the project is located
