Tri City Glass & Door

What Tri City Glass & Door does

Tri City Glass & Door is a privately held, employee-owned (ESOP) glass and door services company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, with a second showroom in Green Bay. The company operates three integrated service verticals: auto glass (windshield repair and replacement, side and back glass, chip repair using polymer resin injection, ADAS camera calibration, commercial and recreational vehicle glass, and Aquapel glass treatment), residential glass and doors (replacement windows, entry/storm/patio/interior doors, shower enclosures, custom mirrors, tabletop and shelving glass, porch enclosures, and railings), and commercial glazing and hardware (interior doors and frames, automatic entrances, Division 10 specialties such as bathroom partitions and accessories, commercial railings, and locksmith/hardware services).

The business model is project-based service revenue with no subscription or recurring software component. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered via free quotes; auto glass revenue is partially intermediated through insurance agents via a dedicated submission portal, while residential and commercial work is sourced through direct showroom visits, the company website, phone inquiries, and mobile/on-site service calls. Customers are segmented across individual consumers, dealerships, fleet operators, and commercial end markets including healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, and municipal buildings. Distribution is concentrated in Northeast Wisconsin, supported by two physical showrooms that display full product lines and mobile service fleets that bring auto glass repair directly to customers. The company claims 1,421+ combined years of staff experience and relies on certified technician status with partner brands such as Therma Tru, Tubelite, and Energy Star as core technical differentiators.

• NOVUS Glass: Auto glass repair and replacement franchise network with windshield chip repair as a core offering. Comparable to Tri City's auto-glass division, particularly its chip-repair polymer resin service line.
• Safelite AutoGlass: Largest U.S. auto glass repair and replacement network, serving insurance-driven and consumer demand across all geographies. Directly comparable to Tri City's auto-glass vertical on services, customer mix, and insurance-claim workflow.
