History of GlasWeld

The glass repair industry first began to gather momentum in the early 1970s, when Novus, Inc. licensed one of the first systems that were capable of optically matching glass. Hap Alexander, a Novus licensee, was trained early on in the new art of glass repair. He saw ways to improve the methods and equipment, and developed proprietary products to advance glass repair quality. Hap began performing glass repairs with his new system in 1978. In 1982, he founded a glass repair company—GlasWeld, which quickly became an industry leader through its extensive research and development in the field of glass repair and glass protection.

 

Windshield Repair
Over the years, GlasWeld has continually worked to develop and patent the very best windshield repair equipment available on the market. These products include the industry’s first tinted resins, several generations of technologically advanced injectors including the ProVac Zoom and ecoVac, and the unique ProCur+ 360° LED UV curing light.

 

Glass Scratch Removal
In 2003, GlasWeld expanded its offering in glass repair by developing Gforce™—a system that removes scratches on glass surfaces. This glass scratch removal system removes even deep scratches from nearly all types of glass. Through independent testing, it has been proven to eliminate these scratches with no distortion.

 

Headlight Restoration
In 2011, GlasWeld introduced the Gclear™ Headlight Restoration System. This system restores polycarbonate headlight lenses and features a wipe-on OEM UV Coating and UV Curing Light which provides a long-lasting, durable finish comparable to what comes from the original factory.

Today, GlasWeld has representation in more than 50 countries around the world and boasts some of the glass industry’s top names on its client list.
