What Agalite does

Agalite is a North American manufacturer of custom shower doors and bath enclosures, operating as a division of Hartung Glass Industries since the 1977 acquisition of the original Agalite Bronson business. The company designs and fabricates a portfolio of seven door collections — Estate, Transcend, Napa, Elite, Accent, Silhouette, Vision — plus a pre-configured Rio Shower Door SKU, spanning premium frameless 1/2" and 3/8" glass systems through entry-level 3/16" semi-frameless options. Manufacturing is vertically integrated through Hartung Glass Industries, which produces tempered glass, hardware, and aluminum framing components in-house across eight facilities stretching from Burnaby, British Columbia to South Bend, Indiana.

The company's product platform integrates third-party certified glass protection technologies — ShowerGuard (Guardian Glass ion-beam permanent sealing) and Diamon-Fusion (DFI water-repellent nano-coating) — alongside proprietary HD Glass ceramic printing and GridTech simulated divided-light systems. All glazed units carry a limited lifetime warranty for residential use; commercial applications carry a 1-year warranty. Pricing is quote-based, with no public list prices; every unit is custom-made to dealer-measured specifications.

Agalite distributes exclusively through an authorized dealer network across the United States and Canada, supported by regional service locations, and additionally serves hospitality and commercial customers (hotels, motels, casinos, student housing, multifamily, fitness centers) through a direct project-quoting channel operated under Hartung Glass Industries. Ownership is concentrated with the Sciola family following Nick Sciola's 1983 acquisition of Hartung Glass Industries; no venture or institutional investment is indicated. The company is privately held, headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, and employs between 101 and 250 people.
