MEMBERSHIP is composed of more than 20 major glass manufacturing corporations, glass-related corporations, suppliers to the glass industry and government agencies who represent all aspects of glass manufacturing including flat glass, containers, fiberglass, specialty glass and secondary processing.
There are two levels of membership: regular and associate. Associate membership is reserved for suppliers of products or services useful in glass manufacturing or users and finishers of glass components.
Each member company is represented by an appointed Liaison Board member with technical representatives from as many areas of their organization as they feel are needed for successful technology information transfer to their companies.
To qualify for membership, a corporation or agency must maintain a manufacturing or other business operation within the continental United States and commit to the annual membership dues for three years.
