What 8G Solutions does

8G Solutions (formerly JPI Glass, founded 1984) is a privately held commercial facade manufacturing and installation contractor headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, with a regional office in Denver/Englewood, Colorado. The company was acquired by STM Invest in late 2016 and rebranded to its current name, employing over 55 office personnel, shop team members, and field craftsmen across two regional operations. It designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs proprietary aluminum-framed window, window wall, and unitized curtainwall systems, alongside storefronts, entrances, structural glass walls, skylights, handrails, interior glazing, and metal panels, with custom depth, finish, attachment, and infill options plus specialized blast-rated configurations for aviation and high-security applications.

The company earns revenue primarily through project-based construction contracts, with individual contract values ranging from approximately $350,000 to $5.5 million and a stated strategic focus on the $2 million to $15 million range for complex commercial glazing challenges. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customers span six primary verticals: Aviation, Commercial Office and Corporate Campus, Entertainment and Amenity, Healthcare, Higher Education, and Hospitality, with named flagship projects including Wichita Airport ($3.6M, blast-rated curtainwall), KU Medical Center Health Education Center ($5.5M), Advent Health South Overland Park Hospital ($3M), Populus Hotel ($3.3M), Garmin's Well-Being Center ($2.4M), and multiple Walmart campus projects (totaling approximately $8.25M disclosed).

Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting general contractors, developers, architects, and building owners in the Midwest and Mountain West regions. 8G supplements its own manufacturing and installation workforce with a network of trusted technology and product partners (Wausau, Viracon, Oldcastle Building Envelope, Tubelite, Hydro, Kawneer, ClearVue PV, LuxWall) and operates three core service lines: Design Assist (engineering and constructability consultation), Emerging Technologies (smart glass and photovoltaic-integrated glazing), and Vertical Integration (proprietary aluminum framing systems). The company reports an EMR safety rating of 0.65 and targets top-ten US contract glazier status by 2025.
