Our Commitment to Sustainability and Transparency

McGrory Glass is committed to the environment and sustainability. The 2.2 acre solar paneled roof
of our main warehouse brought McGrory recognition as one of the first major glass fabrication
companies to hit net zero energy consumption. But our commitment doesn’t stop there.

Accessing McGrory Glass Environmental Documentation
