Hoosier Glass Co. Inc

What Hoosier Glass Co. Inc does

Hoosier Glass Co. Inc is a family-owned commercial glazing contractor headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating continuously since its founding in 1956 by H. Dale Rodewald. The company delivers storefront, curtain wall, entrance, and architectural glass solutions for commercial construction projects, supplemented by a service and repair line and a smaller products and retail offering, primarily serving clients across Indiana.

Its core operational capability is a vertically integrated model: the company operates one of the largest in-house aluminum fabrication shops in the Indianapolis area within a 25,000 sq ft facility, allowing it to fabricate and install glazing systems sourced from national manufacturers including Kawneer, Tubelite, EFCO, Viracon, Oldcastle Building Envelope, Trulite, and Horton Automatics. Installation is performed by a unionized workforce through IUPAT District Council 91, Local 1165, with ongoing apprenticeship and training pipelines.

The business model is project-based commercial contracting: revenue is generated through quoted commercial construction installation work, recurring service and repair contracts, and retail/hardware sales. Customer acquisition is driven by reputation, union and vendor relationships, and a quote-request sales channel via the company website, with no disclosed recurring SaaS, subscription, or platform revenue component.
