Comment: Please see the list of things considered trivial information on a corporation page and the notability criteria for corporations. A wikipedia article about a corporation shouldn't consist primarily of the same type of information you'd expect to read about on a company website; Wikipedia is not particularly interested in a company's portfolio, number of branches, trademarks, sponsorship events, etc. Vanilla Wizard 💙 17:54, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

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]
