At Carlex, we know serving a car owner ultimately means better serving car manufacturers and designers and those who service and repair cars. It also means providing the proper tools to our glassmakers, the people at the heart of our reputation for technology, quality and timely delivery. Our aim is to improve every interaction to make the experience of engineering, crafting, sourcing, installing or repairing quality automotive glass a positive one for all involved. We've grown to meet this challenge, investing in technology, global resources and a network of the world's most integrated glassmaking facilities and processes.But the greatest investment is the one made by our people – generations of highly trained glassmakers who take pride in crafting everything we imagine, touch, test and deliver.The origins of Carlex can be traced back to 1936 when Central Glass Co. Ltd., then known as Ube Soda Industry Co. Ltd., was established in Japan. In 1958, the company launched it's glass business, followed by the acquisition of a North American architectural glass facility in Seattle, WA in 1974, and then opening its first major automotive glass facility in Vonore, TN in 1991 in partnership with Ford Motor Company.Carlex has continually focused on one thing: a commitment to excellence in providing the best automotive glass products to its global customers. This has been a springboard as Carlex grew from the single Vonore facility in 1995, to the 2011 purchase of Ford's former Nashville, TN float glass, fabrication operations, and the aftermarket business which doubled its North American footprint. Carlex doubled its size in 2014 by acquiring three manufacturing sites in Auburn and Ligonier, IN and Grevenmacher, Luxembourg.Our people are the heart of who we are, what we do and how well we do it. We're always working to improve our view through technology, innovation and service to make your view better. We don't just look at the glass, we see beyond the glass.
