Previous wording

We transform glass and aluminum into high specification architectural glass and custom-made aluminum profiles which require significant investments in state-of-the-art technology. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we made investments primarily in building and construction and machinery and equipment in the amounts of $59.4 million and $73.8 million, respectively. These investments across our vertically-integrated operations include further automating our glass and window assembly production lines, adding glass production lines, expanding our aluminum facilities, putting new vinyl windows lines to penetrate this new product segment and purchasing land to grow beyond current installed capacity.

Additionally, the Company expects the resulting increase in output to improve efficiency throughout its operations while reducing material waste and overall lead times.
