About Eckelt

Eckelt is a Steyr-based Austrian manufacturer and processor of architectural and safety glass, positioning itself as a one-stop partner for complex, logistically demanding facade glazing for international facade builders, metalworkers and construction firms. Its in-house capabilities span cutting, grinding, drilling, printing and enameling, tempering, laminating, heat-soak testing and two- and three-pane insulating glass, delivering functions from energy performance and sound insulation to impact, fire and bird-strike protection. The company specialises in oversized XL panes up to roughly 8 by 3.2 metres, a niche that supports high-value projects rather than commodity flat glass. Over a history reaching back a century it has supplied glass to landmark buildings in more than 50 countries, including the DC Tower in Vienna, BMW Welt in Munich, the Acropolis Museum in Athens, 432 Park Avenue in New York, The Gherkin in London and the glass floor at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Ownership journey

Eckelt was founded in Steyr in 1923 by August Eckelt, growing from a single-person glaziery into an industrial producer of architectural glass, with an early milestone in the 1950s when the family patented stainless-steel spacer bars with vapour-tight corners for insulating glass. In November 2025 Accursia Capital acquired Eckelt Glas GmbH, taking the Austrian business into its portfolio as part of a three-company platform assembled alongside Glas Ziegler in Austria and Dual Seal Glass in the United Kingdom. Accursia, an evergreen investor, framed the deal as the foundation for a buy-and-build platform in European glass processing. The holding proved short: Accursia exited Eckelt in June 2026 via a secondary transaction, and no acquiring party is disclosed on this sheet.

Under PE ownership

Accursia acquired Eckelt as the anchor of a European glass-processing platform, with the stated aim of building scale across the region and pursuing targeted add-on acquisitions once operational stability and profitability were secured. The sponsor said it planned to capture operational synergies in production, procurement and logistics across the three grouped businesses and to strengthen the combined service offering. During its roughly seven-month ownership from November 2025 to June 2026, Accursia reported supporting Eckelt through a range of operational and functional initiatives intended to strengthen the business within its industrial environment. Given the brevity of the hold, public sources do not quantify revenue or headcount changes attributable to the investment, and Accursia exited via a secondary transaction in June 2026.
