Overview

Giving its customers a break would never occur to Guardian Industries, one of the world's largest glassmakers. With more than 60 facilities on five continents, Guardian primarily produces float glass and fabricated glass products for the automobile and construction markets. It also makes architectural glass (mirrors), fiberglass, and automotive trim parts. Through its Guardian Building Products, the company operates one of largest building supply distribution centers in North America. Former president and CEO William Davidson took Guardian Industries public in 1968, buying it back in 1985. Ownership of the privately held company remains with the Davidson family.
