A Global Investment Firm, A Modern Miami Office
JAB Holding Company is a partner-led investment firm built around long-term ownership and value creation, with more than $70 billion in assets under management. Its portfolio has included some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands, including Krispy Kreme, Peet’s, Stumptown, Pret A Manger and Keurig Dr Pepper. With offices across Europe and the United States, including Miami, JAB selected PriWatt® PDLC smart glass to bring on-demand privacy to its Miami conference room.
For a firm built on decades of brand stewardship, the office itself needed to reflect the same discipline: clean, modern, and built to perform under a wide range of daily uses — from confidential deal discussions to executive video calls.
Project Snapshot
Client: JAB Holding Company
Location: Miami, Florida
Application: Conference room glazing in a corporate investment office
Technology: PriWatt® PDLC Smart Glass
Installation Type: New construction integration
Environment: Corporate conference room
Manufacturing: Smart Glass Group, USA
Installation: Certified integration partner – Smart Glass Technologies
The Challenge
As a global investment firm, JAB’s Miami conference room needed to support a wide range of activities in a single day — client presentations, executive meetings, video conferences, and strategic planning sessions — each carrying its own privacy requirements.
JAB needed a solution that could:
- Switch instantly between open and private without disrupting meeting flow
- Maintain a clean, high-end architectural finish befitting a global investment firm
- Avoid blinds or curtains that would date the space or require upkeep
- Keep the room bright and connected to the office when privacy wasn’t required
- Hold up to daily, high-frequency use in a professional environment
The Solution
PriWatt® PDLC smart glass was integrated directly into the conference room’s glazing, giving JAB instant control over the room’s transparency at the touch of a button.
When powered on, the glass stays fully transparent, keeping the space open, bright, and visually connected to the rest of the office. When privacy is needed, the glass switches instantly to an opaque state, creating a focused environment for sensitive conversations without ever separating the room from the office long-term.
Because the technology is built into the glass itself, the room required no blinds, no curtains, and no additional hardware — just a clean, minimal glass wall that performs on demand.
Why PDLC Smart Glass Fit a Global Investment Office
Firms operating at JAB’s scale need infrastructure that matches the standards they hold their portfolio companies to. PDLC smart glass delivered on several fronts:
- Instant privacy control without interrupting meetings
- A refined, minimal aesthetic with no visible hardware
- Full transparency and natural daylight when privacy isn’t needed
- No maintenance burden compared to blinds or curtains
- Durable performance suited to daily, high-frequency office use
- A modern architectural statement consistent with a premium brand portfolio
A Workspace Built for How Investment Teams Actually Work
Investment offices move quickly between modes — open collaboration one hour, confidential discussion the next. Static privacy solutions force a choice between openness and discretion. Smart glass removes that trade-off entirely, letting the same room support both without reconfiguration.
For JAB, that meant a conference room that could keep pace with the firm’s day-to-day work while reflecting the same quality and permanence the firm looks for in its own investments.

The result is a meeting space built to the same standard of quality the firm applies across its portfolio.
