Clearlight Glass & Mirror Acquires Custom Glass Fabricator
Clearlight Glass & Mirror, a North Carolina-based custom glass fabricator, announced that it has acquired a fabrication facility in Stoneville, North Carolina, previously owned by Press Glass, Inc. The acquisition expands Clearlight’s manufacturing footprint in North Carolina.
The Stoneville facility processes glass from 3/32-inch to 3/4-inch across a broad product mix, including clear, low-iron, low-E coating and patterned substrates. With this acquisition, Clearlight will expand capacity for custom shower enclosures, residential and commercial glazing, and specialty fabrication, while adding high-volume capabilities in:
- Insulated glass units (IGUs)
- Lamination
- Back-painted glass
- Digital ceramic printing
- High-throughput tempering
These capabilities support both design-driven architectural applications and repeatable production programs for builders and contractors. Clearlight leaders note that the facility provides critical machine redundancy, including multiple tempering ovens, CNC and cutting assets, and integrated logistics capacity, helping reduce production bottlenecks, improve schedule reliability, and minimize risk for customers managing tight construction timelines.
Leadership commentary
“Clearlight is excited to continue its growth trajectory, adding significant capacity and capabilities to better serve our customers,” says William Calhoun, CEO of Clearlight Glass & Mirror. “This investment strengthens our ability to deliver consistent quality at scale, even as project complexity and demand continue to increase. This includes machine redundancies from cutting tables to multiple tempering ovens to delivery fleets. We appreciate the solid foundation laid at this facility by Glass Dynamics and Press Glass and will work hard to build on that foundation.”
“The combination of personnel, equipment, location, and customer base creates a strong platform for long-term growth,” says Dio Guerra, chief operating officer at Clearlight. “Stoneville allows us to expand capacity without sacrificing the craftsmanship and responsiveness our customers expect. We do all of this to exceed our customers’ expectations, which is the greatest satisfaction that drives us as a company. Quality without compromise.”
"We are pleased to see Clearlight take ownership of this building and serve the local market with a strong focus on quality and dependable delivery. Their investment in this facility is also a positive development for the community, supporting local employment and continued economic growth," says Brett Ashley, president of Press Glass, Inc.
