Vidros Sandim Gains Confidence in Every Cut with the Prodim Glass Package
With over 50 years in the glass industry, Vidros Sandim – officially Manuel Rodrigues dos Santos e Filho, Lda. – has built a reputation for quality and adaptability. The family-run business, now in its third generation, offers a wide range of glass solutions, from double glazing to custom staircases, balustrades, mirrors, enclosures, and more. Based in Sandim, Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, they combine tradition with innovation to meet the ever-evolving demands of the market.
In June 2024, Vidros Sandim took a significant step forward by investing in the Prodim Glass Package, and the results were immediate.
“We first heard about the Proliner from colleagues and saw it in action at Glasstec. It was clear this was exactly what we needed to improve precision and efficiency,” shared Renato and Gonçalo Santos, who now manage the day-to-day operations.
The Prodim Glass Package brought a shift in their workflow, particularly for complex on-site projects.
“The Proliner eliminated errors, reduced time and labor spent on-site, and saved costs. We’re now measuring with accuracy down to tenths of millimeters — even in remote locations,” adds Gonçalo Santos.
Originally purchased for staircases and balustrades, the Proliner quickly became essential for other jobs, such as measuring built-in mirrors and custom kitchen glass.
“We now use it for almost everything. The precision and speed have transformed our workflow,” says Renato.
Thanks to the Prodim Glass Package, Vidros Sandim has boosted productivity while maintaining the quality they’re known for. Their investment is already paying off in both efficiency and customer satisfaction.
