Chinese glass manufacturer signs on for ClearVue Technologies


Maxblue Industrial Glass can produce a diverse range of glazing including its “jumbo-sized” integrated glazing units in pursuit of better lighting, ambience and wider views without losing its thermal and sound absorbing efficiencies.

In a pivotal moment for ClearVue Technologies (ASX: CPV), the solar glass developer has locked down a big Chinese manufacturer to produce and supply its unique solar windows around the globe.


The company has signed a five-year original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with China-based Maxblue Industrial Glass to produce ClearVue’s solar windows that are able to soak up and generate energy from the sun.


The recent move is intended to build a new supply and support avenue for regions lacking ClearVue licensees and the company’s existing global licensees requiring big-volume deliveries on major projects.


Maxblue is a large manufacturer of advanced architectural glazing with a capacity to produce glass products for itself and for licensees.


ClearVue views the cementing of its relationship with Maxblue as an opportunity to reinforce its ability to deliver product to global projects directly and also build a reliable backup supply chain.


Under the terms of the agreement, ClearVue grants Maxblue the right to manufacture – on an OEM basis - ClearVue’s products which incorporate its photo-voltaic (PV) solar control and power generation technologies.


The agreement is exclusive to ClearVue or at ClearVue’s direction for or on behalf of the company’s licensees.


Maxblue already has a high-performance “E-glass” designed to achieve high-reflection of middle to far-infrared light to block solar radiation.


Maxblue also has a product known as “warm edge technology” which employs a low thermal conductivity integrated “super-spacer” at the edge of the glass unit. Typically, most glass units transfer energy most rapidly through conductivity at the frame edges. The treatment reduces energy and helps to maintain the desired temperature of the room.


We are excited to solidify and expand our partnership with Maxblue, a company we have collaborated with for a long time. Maxblue has been instrumental in refining the manufacturing process for our Generation 2 solar glass units. They played a crucial role in producing testing units, developing our flash tester, and integrating it into the production line. Their advice on the manufacturing process has been invaluable. Maxblue is recognised as one of the leading glass and IGU manufacturers in China.
ClearVue Technologies Global CEO Martin Deil

MaxBlue’s advanced production facilities include a fully automated super spacer IGU fabrication line and an automated lamination processing line.


In today’s world, decarbonizing is crucial, and products like ClearVue’s solar glass are at the forefront of this movement. We are proud to be part of this journey, providing this cutting-edge technology to projects around the globe.
Maxblue’s Director Po (Paul) Chen

ClearVue says the partnership with Maxblue will give it the necessary fabrication support when needed, particularly when its licensees require extra assistance with specific projects.


Maxblue is headquartered in Shanghai with production facilities in the Haimen Economic Development Zone in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China.


The product and technological synergies between both ClearVue and Maxblue are apparent and the signing of a Chinese factory with scalability just might be the missing link that ClearVue needs to take its product to market.
