Guardian Glass Signs Agreement to Acquire Vortex Glass
Guardian Glass has acquired the assets of Vortex Glass the Miami, Florida laminated and insulated glass fabrication business. Vortex products meet the stringent Florida Building Code for hurricane impacts, and supplies Florida and the Caribbean Islands customers with complete tempered glass packages for residential and commercial construction, including office partitions, shower doors and glass railings.
Vortex and Guardian agree this transaction will have a positive impact on the business, including its employees, customers and suppliers.
“We are very pleased to see in Guardian Glass a buyer that has strategic synergies with our existing business, the right values and the ability to help Vortex continue to provide great service to our existing customers while identifying and adding the capability for us to add new business,” says Humberto Juliao, Vortex President. “It’s a chance for the business as well as our team members to grow.”
"This transaction represents an important opportunity for Guardian Glass to add value to our residential customers in the Southeast,” explains Rick Zoulek, Executive Vice President, Guardian Glass Americas. “We remain committed to our existing customers and partners, and we’ve identified Vortex as a company with the right team, capabilities, and motivation to fit Guardian’s fabrication business model. We look forward to the successes to come.”
