ENR Lists Their Top Glazing Contractors

The October 2003 issue of Engineering News Record (ENR) has listed its top 20 glazing contractors. The list is not without controversy. Listings are based on what companies self-reported and are ranked by 2002 revenue in millions of dollars. Suppliers are also listed (i.e. W & W Glass Systems, which distributes Pilkington’s Planar system).
