<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Clearlight Glass &amp; Mirror</strong> has strengthened its Southeast U.S. production network with the purchase of a glass fabrication facility in Stoneville, North Carolina, previously operated by <strong>Press Glass Inc.</strong> The move adds immediate manufacturing scale and operational resilience for one of the region’s most active custom fabricators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the company, the Stoneville site supports expanded capacity for custom shower enclosures, <strong>residential and light-commercial glazing</strong>, and specialty fabrication, aligning with continued demand for faster lead times and more complex project requirements. The facility is designed to process glass thicknesses from 3/32 inches up to 3/4 inches, covering a broad product range including <strong>clear glass, low-iron substrates, low-E coated glass, and patterned products</strong>, a versatile mix for both premium interiors and performance-focused glazing packages.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>William Calhoun, CEO of Clearlight</strong>, described the acquisition as a strategic step to deliver consistent quality at scale: the investment increases capacity while improving reliability through <strong>machine redundancies</strong>, from cutting tables to multiple tempering ovens, as well as delivery fleets supporting regional distribution. Calhoun also noted the established base created by <strong>Glass Dynamics</strong> and <strong>Press Glass</strong>, which Clearlight aims to build upon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company confirmed that the Stoneville facility includes critical equipment depth, such as <strong>multiple tempering lines</strong>, <strong>CNC and cutting assets</strong>, and integrated logistics capacity, helping reduce production risk and support peak workloads without bottlenecks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Headquartered in Kernersville, North Carolina, family-owned Clearlight Glass &amp; Mirror serves the residential, commercial, and specialty-architectural markets across the Southeast, offering <strong>tempered glass</strong>, <strong>insulating glass units (IGUs)</strong>, <strong>mirrors</strong>, <strong>digital printing</strong>, and specialized processing, now backed by a larger and more redundant manufacturing footprint.</p>
