What Architectural Glass & Metal Company does

Architectural Glass & Metal Company, Inc. (AGM) is a privately held specialty-trade glazing contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company designs, fabricates, and installs architectural glass and metal systems for commercial buildings, with a product portfolio that includes storefronts, curtain walls, aluminum panels, sun control systems (including Building Integrated Photovoltaic/BIPV sun shades), skylights, all-glass entrances, and interior glazing. Its technology stack centers on a ~28,000-square-foot in-house fabrication facility with experienced fabricators, supplemented by Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities delivered through an in-house drafting team that integrates with architects during design phase. Field execution is grounded in a CCS-certified safety program with consistently sub-1.0 Experience Modification Ratings and a 24-hour emergency service capability.

AGM operates through three regional offices — Indianapolis (headquarters), Cincinnati (opened 2004), and Nashville (Mid-South branch) — and targets general contractors, architects, and building owners on a project-based bid/spec basis across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Northern Kentucky. Its commercial model spans three service lines: contract glazing (one-time design/fabricate/install project revenue), service and repair (ongoing maintenance including 24-hour emergency response), and remedial repair (leak investigation, testing, and retrofit of failing window and wall systems). The customer mix is vertically diversified across healthcare, education, banking/financial services, commercial office, automotive retail, pharmaceutical, museums/cultural, and religious institutions, with named accounts including Eli Lilly, Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, Purdue University, and Verizon.

The company employs more than 120 dedicated workers and runs an Earn & Learn apprenticeship program in partnership with Vincennes University that pays for employees' Associate's degrees while they earn a salary on the job. Revenue, pricing, and backlog are not publicly disclosed. AGM operates as an independent, management-owned corporation with no external private equity or venture capital investors identified in available sources.
