Custom Glass Fabrication Services
Since 1912, S.I. Howard Glass Company has been delivering high quality glass products and precision glass fabrication services to customers in a wide range of industries. As a 3rd generation, family owned business, we specialize in tight tolerance fabrication, and precision cutting, machining, and edging of glass products for numerous high tech applications. Howard Glass's success is built on a commitment to quality, this is exemplified by the number of long term customer relationship's some as long as 50 years. This customer base includes industries such as advanced optics, aerospace, medical/biomed, electronics, and glass manufacturing.
Specializing in flat glass in thicknesses from .1mm to 16 mm, Howard Glass is advanced glass fabrication capabilities can cut and machine glass to tolerances of ±.002". These precision fabrication services are augmented by our ability to work with a variety of glass materials, as well as the application of cutting edge coatings such as high vacuum, mag fluoride, and HEA. From optical filter shapes to signal mirrors, Howard Glass can provided advanced glass products in volumes from prototype to production runs, with lead times of 2 to 4 weeks.
