Tempco Glass Fabrication marks fifth year of growth

FLUSHING, NY Tempco Glass Fabrication marks its fifth year of operation since opening early in 2013. Over that time, the company has grown in sales, services, job creation, manufacturing space, and production equipment and capacity.  It has also been recognized for the past several years by leading industry publication Glass Magazine, as one of the Top Glass Fabricators in the nation. “We are continuously investing to meet the high demand for quality glass products and services in the area,” said Johnson Chen, general manager for Tempco. “Rapid growth can be very challenging for companies, especially a new one like ours.Despite Tempco’s fast growth, we’ve worked hard to ensure our quality remains high, our customer service is excellent, and our prices and lead times remain very competitive.”

In the past three years, Tempco has added significant production capacity beyond its original glass tempering operation, doubling its factory space to 50,000 s/f, and acquiring new glass processing equipment such as CNC automated cutting and fabrication equipment and two production lines for insulating glass units (IGUs).  The new equipment allowed Tempco to add many fabrication services such as cutting and drilling, routing, special shapes, and edge polishing and milling, along with many glass products such as insulating glass units and spandrel, Diamon-Fusion easy-clean, and colored glass.  The company has acquired trucks to expand regional delivery service to job sites and customer locations.  Also, Tempco has achieved several industry and supplier certifications for fabrication and is now a certified MBE with several government agencies.

Tempco’s investment has resulted in sales growth of nearly 180% in the past three years.  Tempco in that same time more than doubled the number of employees to over 50.  “Tempco is proud of its positive impact on the local economy with job creation,” said Johnson Chen.  “Manufacturing in New York City can be hard, but we are proving that it’s viable.”
