The President of Carlex Glass America, Masami Wakatsuki stated that the acquisition would expand the company’s automotive glass business as well its production capability of automotive-quality flat glass.

With the purchase, Carlex is now the exclusive supplier of Carlite-brand automotive replacement glass in the United States.
