Made in Luxembourg — Vitralux Bradtke, 160 years serving the Grand Duchy
Vitralux Bradtke was founded in Luxembourg in 1865 and has never left. In 160 years and six generations we have cut, shaped, fitted and delivered millions of pieces of glass across the Grand Duchy: from the bathroom mirror to the façades of the largest buildings on Kirchberg, by way of the glazing on tram shelters, schools, clinics and hotels. All of it made in Howald. By Luxembourgers. For Luxembourg.
Choosing Vitralux means choosing Luxembourg
In a trade where many glazing firms rely on foreign workshops, cross-border subcontractors or material imported in bulk, Vitralux does the opposite: a 1,500 m² workshop in Howald, 10,000 m² of glass in stock on site, local teams working across the whole Grand Duchy, and 160 years of history rooted in this country. That is not a marketing line: it has been the Vitralux business model since the firm was founded.

1865–2025 — six generations serving Luxembourg
Vitralux was founded in Luxembourg in 1865. Since then every generation of the Bradtke family has handed on the craft, built up the skills and widened the services offered to Luxembourg clients. What began as a small craft glazier's is today one of the leading glazing firms in the Grand Duchy, with a modern workshop able to deliver more than 20 distinct services.
Vitralux has worked on some of the country's best-known projects: the K2 complex on Avenue J.F. Kennedy at Kirchberg, the Royal Hamilius in the city centre, tram shelters, schools, clinics, hotels and thousands of houses and flats. Read the whole story of the Bradtke family firm since 1865.

5 concrete advantages of choosing Vitralux over a foreign supplier
Lead times without equal
With 10,000 m² permanently in stock at Howald, Vitralux can answer most requests without waiting on a delivery from abroad. On standard work (shelves, mirrors, shower screens), our lead times are among the shortest on the Luxembourg market.
A local partner, reachable and accountable
Unlike a foreign supplier or an importer, Vitralux answers the telephone, is based in Howald and stands behind every piece delivered. If something goes wrong, we are there straight away.
We know the Luxembourg context
Building standards, what architects and clients expect, the City of Luxembourg's requirements, the quirks of the local climate: Vitralux has known all of it for 160 years.
24/7 call-outs across the Grand Duchy
A foreign supplier will not come out on a Sunday evening to replace a broken pane. Vitralux will: our emergency service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for any glass breakage in Luxembourg.
A contribution to the local economy
Every euro spent at Vitralux stays in Luxembourg: wages paid locally, Luxembourg VAT, Luxembourg glaziers trained, investment in the Howald workshop.
