The Vitro鈥揝teelers partnership began in 2024, with Vitro becoming the team鈥檚 first Mexico-based partner through the NFL鈥檚 Global Markets Program. With nearly eight million fans in Mexico, the Steelers boast one of the largest fanbases in Mexico among NFL teams.

The partnership is united by a shared history of grit, innovation and resilience, and a connection rooted in Pittsburgh, where Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) was founded in 1883. Today, Vitro continues to advance the industry with low embodied carbon, energy-efficient glass solutions, backed by its world-class research and development center, still headquartered in Pittsburgh.
