description: 'Ferro Corporation was a Cleveland-area, NYSE-listed (FOE) Fortune 1000 producer of functional coatings, color
  solutions, glass enamels, pigments and electronic materials. In April 2022 it was acquired by Prince International (American
  Securities) and merged with Prince and Chromaflo to form Vibrantz Technologies (vibrantz.com); Ferro filed a Form 15 with
  the SEC on 2022-05-02 and ferro.com now 301-redirects to vibrantz.com. Neither the legacy Ferro brand nor Vibrantz publishes
  a developer program, an API reference or a machine-readable contract: api.ferro.com and developer.ferro.com do not resolve,
  vibrantz.com answers 404 on every developer, OpenAPI and /.well-known/ path probed on 2026-09-17, and its only machine-readable
  surfaces are a Yoast-generated llms.txt, an RSS feed and the default WordPress /wp-json/ index. Machine-readable company
  data exists only through third-party channels — Ferro''s historical SEC filings (CIK 0000035214) remain on the SEC''s own
  EDGAR APIs.'

  description: Machine-readable historical filing data for Ferro Corporation is available from the U.S. Securities and Exchange
    Commission, not from the company. The SEC EDGAR submissions API returns the full filing history for CIK 0000035214 (FERRO
    CORP) as JSON — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and proxy filings through the 2022 acquisition, the Form 15-12B deregistration of 2022-05-02,
    and beneficial-ownership amendments into 2023. This is a third-party government API listed here because it is the only
    real programmatic access to this company's data; Ferro no longer files.

    documentation: The SEC's EDGAR APIs page (HTTP 200) documents RESTful JSON APIs on data.sec.gov — https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK##########.json
      plus the XBRL companyconcept, companyfacts and frames APIs. No authentication or API key is required; a declared User-Agent
      and a 10-request-per-second ceiling are the stated fair-access terms.
    endpoint_check: GET https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK0000035214.json returned HTTP 200 with JSON naming "FERRO CORP",
      no current ticker, and 1,000 recent filings whose latest entries are an SC 13G/A dated 2023-02-10 and the 15-12B dated
      2022-05-02.

  detail: Ferro Corporation was absorbed into Vibrantz Technologies in 2022 — ferro.com 301-redirects every path to the vibrantz.com
    root, the scaffolded hosts api.ferro.com and developer.ferro.com do not resolve in DNS, and vibrantz.com answers 404 on
    /developers/, /api/, /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ path, publishing only a Yoast llms.txt, an RSS feed and the
    default WordPress /wp-json/ index.
