About Glass Magnum

32 years ago, our founders John Podpah and Karen Podpah created Glass Magnum. Originally known as Mr. Glassman, the company started as a Glass Repair Franchising business. For many years John and Karen devoted their energies to developing franchisees to become expert and successful. They tirelessly trained and mentored Glass Techs to start their business, how to run their business and how to be successful, by performing high quality glass repairs all over NorthAmerica. As of today, those Glass Techs have saved more than a million windshields from the landfill. Today Glass Magnum Inc is a full service Commercial and Residential Glass Replacement Company that also fabricates and installs Commercial Store Fronts. GMI now specializes in flat glass resurfacing, stainless steel resurfacing and is also a full-service Commercial and Residential Window Film company.
