Architectural Glass and Metal

What Architectural Glass and Metal does

Architectural Glass and Metal (AGM) is a privately held, bonded and insured union specialty contractor founded in 1986 and headquartered at 3 Liebich Lane in Clifton Park, New York. The company fabricates and installs architectural glass, metal, and mirror systems for commercial, institutional, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, automotive, and government projects across New York's Capital Region and broader upstate market. Its named project portfolio spans SUNY Albany, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Skidmore College, Albany Medical Center, Ellis Medicine, Putnam Hospital, GlobalFoundries, GE Building 33, Crossgates Mall, Lord & Taylor, Socha Plaza, Hilton Garden Inn, New Country Lexus, and ShopRite, among others.

AGM operates from a single 30,000 sq ft owned facility (built 2009 with NYSERDA design assistance and equipped with a 55kW solar array) that houses both its offices and its in-house fabrication shop. The fabrication center runs shears, brakes, iron workers, single and double head saws, an Elumatec SBZ130 extrusion CNC, and an Alu Ranger 4216 panel CNC, enabling in-house cutting and machining of aluminum extrusions and composite panels used in curtain wall, storefront, insulated metal panel, and custom architectural metalwork. A separate fleet of trucks, forklifts, and boom lifts supports field delivery and installation, reducing dependence on rented equipment.

AGM generates revenue through project-based, per-engagement contracts for glass and metal fabrication and installation, supplemented by mirror installation and consulting services. Pricing is negotiated on a project-by-project basis with no public list pricing. The company employs 51-100 people, including a core workforce of 30-40 union glazers, and is sold and delivered through direct, field-based relationships with project owners and general contractors, primarily via competitive bidding for public and private construction work. Marketing is conducted principally through the company website, project portfolio, and membership in industry associations (NESCA, ECA, NGA, DC9).

• Harmon Inc. One of the largest North American architectural glass and glazing contractors, offering curtain wall, storefront, and interior glass solutions nationwide.
