Glasswerks owner discusses his 47 years of glass in Southern California February 19, 2021 Randy Steinberg, owner of Glasswerks in Southgate, California, started in the glass and glazing industry in 1974, when he was 14 years old. Working at a small glass shop in Los Angeles, he did a little bit of everything, sweeping floors and learning how to cut, handle and install glass. Within five years, he was owner of the shop, and a few years after that, he launched Glasswerks. In the decades that have followed, Steinberg’s journey has included nearly a dozen acquisitions, the sale and eventual buyback of Glasswerks, and the launch and sale of a new company. Steinberg has been making his mark on the glass industry running a high-performance glass fabricator that, today, includes nine tempering furnaces, three bent tempering furnaces, eight insulating lines, four jumbo laminating lines, more than 100 pieces of automated fabrication machinery and more. Glasswerks can cater to everything from a skyscraper or stadium to a single order for one piece of tempered glass.
