Glass-Steel, Inc.

Founded in January of 1979, Glass-Steel, Inc., as the name implies, originally intended to be a fabricator of both fiberglass and steel structures. This concept was short-lived. The almost immediate success of the company with fiberglass structures coupled with the knowledge that fiberglass was making significant inroads into structural applications traditionally reserved for steel, aluminum, or wood, convinced Glass-Steel, Inc. management early on that the niche for Glass-Steel, Inc. was in fiberglass. A secondary reason for the selection of the name of the company was to suggest the phrase, “Glass was the strength of steel.” For that reason the name “Glass-Steel” remains very appropriate today.
