A Year of Momentum: Reflecting on 2025 & Looking Ahead to a Strong 2026

As 2025 draws to a close, the team at Hartung Glass Industries is taking a moment to reflect on a year defined by growth, innovation, and strengthened partnerships across North America. From major facility transformations to breakthroughs in product performance and customer experience, this year has reinforced what makes Hartung unique: our people, our craftsmanship, and our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest-quality glass solutions on the market.

Investing in Local Service—From Coast to Coast

This year, each Hartung location continued to strengthen its capabilities to better serve local markets. Whether it was upgrading equipment, increasing capacity, or expanding our product mix, our focus remained clear:
Deliver industry-leading quality with the fastest, most reliable lead times.

Key highlights included:

• Renton: Continued enhancements following last year’s “Speed Meets Quality” transformation, including workflow improvements that reduce cycle times and optimize output.

• Colorado & Utah: Growing demand across the Mountain West led to increased production in insulated glass, laminated glass, and interior solutions.

• Texas: Expanded shower door distribution channels and strengthened local support to service a rapidly growing region.

• Tukwila: Added an advanced TPS line to support IGU in the PNW.

• Canada: Strong momentum across custom glass, commercial fabrication, and architectural projects—paired with best-in-class customer service.

These facility-level advancements reinforce a core Hartung promise: wherever your project is, there’s a Hartung team ready to deliver.

Innovation That Moves the Industry Forward

2025 brought continued investment in the technologies and processes that keep Hartung at the forefront of the glass industry:

• Advanced Lamination Capabilities to meet the rising demand for security glass and protective glazing.

• High-definition printing and custom etching, enabling architects, designers, and homeowners to bring nearly any vision to life.

• Warm-edge spacer (TPS) systems expanded across more locations, elevating thermal performance and IGU consistency.

• Diamon-Fusion protective coating continued to be a customer favorite—reducing maintenance, improving durability, and enhancing the lifespan of shower doors and interior glass.

Innovation remains central to our mission—and will be an even greater focus as we move into 2026.

Celebrating Our People

No transformation is possible without the dedication of our teams. This year, we celebrated:

• Milestone anniversaries across multiple facilities

• Exceptional safety achievements, including continued hours without lost-time injuries

• Employee-driven improvements that simplified processes and strengthened product quality

• Expanded training and cross-functional collaboration—reinforcing our One Hartung culture

Our people remain the heart of everything we do.

Strengthening Customer Partnerships

Above all, 2025 was a year of deepened customer relationships. Whether you’re an architect, glazier, distributor, contractor, or homeowner, your trust fuels our growth.
This year we:

• Launched new onboarding resources and improved communication for first-time customers

• Expanded project support for commercial and multifamily glazing

• Enhanced our quoting and lead-time processes for faster, more transparent communication

• Rolled out new digital resources to streamline product selection and ordering

Your feedback continues to shape our roadmap for the year ahead.

Looking Ahead to 2026

We’re entering 2026 with momentum—and a commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers and partners. Expect to see:

• Expanded production capacity in key markets

• New product advancements in security glass, interior systems, and IGU performance

• Continued investments in people and technology
