Lipoplast is a Romanian company based in Timișoara, specializing in the production and processing of glass and PVC joinery. Founded in 1994, it manufactures insulating, laminated, decorative, security and solar-control glass, along with PVC and aluminium windows, doors, roller shutters and insect screens.[1] In 2024, it was ranked the largest manufacturer of PVC joinery and insulating glass in Timiș County and the 15th largest in Romania by turnover.[2]

History

Lipoplast was founded in 1994 by Valeriu Cîrpanu, an ophthalmologist turned entrepreneur, who started the business in a 300 m² rented hall in Timișoara.[3]

Initially focused on joinery and hardware, the company expanded into glass processing, introducing insulated and laminated glass production technologies.[4]

By the early 2000s, Lipoplast began exporting to Western Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany.[1] Its international reach has since expanded to over ten countries in Europe and North America.[1]

Operations

Lipoplast's product portfolio includes insulating glass units, security glass, decorative and enamelled glass, as well as PVC and aluminium joinery.[1] The firm also produces roller shutters and insect screens.[1]

The company holds an international NAMI certification for insulated glass products.[5] It also registered the "Luxor" trademark in 2018 with the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks (OSIM).[6]

Financial performance

In 2024, Lipoplast reported a turnover exceeding 60 million RON and employed 176 people.[1][2]

Notable projects

Lipoplast has supplied glass and joinery products for several major construction projects, including:

  • ISHO residential complex, Timișoara[3]
  • Student residence of the West University of Timișoara[3]
  • ICAM building, Timișoara[3]
  • Faculty of Chemistry and Biology, Polytechnic University of Timișoara[3]

Other activities

Founder Valeriu Cîrpanu was also known as a rally driver in his youth.[7] Lipoplast operated its own racing team in the late 1990s and early 2000s, culminating in winning the 2001 Romanian National Rally Championship, with Daniel Ungur as the lead driver.[8][9]

Lipoplast has also supported cultural initiatives. The company was a partner in the "Timișoara 2023 – European Capital of Culture" programme,[10] and sponsored the 2024 Ceau Cinema film festival's "Houses in Films" exhibition, which featured illustrations of famous houses from international cinema.[11]
