  • This Year's Top 50 Contract Glaziers Rankings Show a Decline in Sales
    This Year’s Top 50 Contract Glaziers Rankings Show a Decline in Sales, But Optimism for the Year Ahead 34 hh USGlass Metal & Glazing hhFebruary 2021 For the David M. Rubenstein Forum at the University of Chicago, Glass Solutions’ scope included 31,500 square feet of its UCW 3400 Series 2-sided captured #33 unitized curtainwall system. f there was a word to describe the overall outlook surrounding the contracting glazing industry, that word might be cautious. Much of the industry survived the storm that began here in the U.S. last March when the country began to shut down due I to the rapid spread of the coronavirus. While we haven’t yet made it to the other side, many contract glaziers pointed to vac- cine distribution (see related article on page 30) and an end to the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for optimism this year. “We hope to see the impacts of COVID-19 begin to subside re- sulting in more new construction projects, fewer COVID-19 pre- cautions at jobsites and, most importantly, the ability to restore and maintain personal connections with our employees and custom- ers,” said Adam Boeckmann, president and CEO of Architectural Wall Systems in Des Moines, Iowa. Given the many shutdowns across the country in 2020, it’s prob- ably not a surprise that sales for many contract glazing companies were down. According to this year’s report, the top 20 contract gla- ziers on our list saw more significant declines in 2020 than the top glazing contractors group as a whole.
