What Cleer Vision does
Cleer Vision is a specialty window and tempered glass manufacturer headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, operating through two divisions: Cleer Vision Windows, which produces high-value aluminum-frame windows for the recreational vehicle, transit bus, emergency vehicle, and specialty vehicle markets, and Cleer Vision Tempered Glass, which fabricates tempered glass for truck cab, residential, commercial, furniture, automotive, overhead door, and construction applications. The company's core technology is industrial glass processing equipment — a 72-inch wide continuous furnace, CNC cutting machinery handling glass from 7"x7" to 70"x70", automated laser logo and touch-less seaming equipment, a Tecglass digital printer, and a recently installed Glaston glass oven — housed across two Elkhart facilities totaling 80,000 sq. ft.
The product portfolio is structured around configurable window series (CT, DP, ST, SG) offering solid, vertical slider, horizontal slider, and egress variants in single and dual pane configurations, alongside custom tempered glass fabrication services with a defined color and tint library. Cleer Vision is independently certified in Guardian's exclusive Platinum Fabricator program, certified by PPG to process coated glass products, certified to ECE regulation 43.01 for European export of class N3 vehicles, and produces to ASTM C 1036 and C 1048 standards.
The business model is B2B hardware sales, quote-based pricing, and exclusive go-to-market through a sales development team that works directly with OEMs, builders, and industry professionals. The company does not sell to aftermarket consumers. Since 2021, Cleer Vision has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airxcel, the leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of functional products for the RV industry, which provides distribution reach across the Airxcel family of brands (Aqua-Hot, Coleman-Mach, Dicor, Maxxair, Suburban, United Shade, and others). The company meets or exceeds Made in America standards and is led by President Rick Collins, who has run the business since founding in 2003.
