Jacobs Glass System

St. Jacobs Glass Systems was founded in 2003 by Ken Podhornik, a seasoned glass professional with expertise honed across Canada. Having worked in a variety of glass companies, from the mountain vistas of Whistler, British Columbia, to the bustling city of Windsor, Ontario, Ken developed a deep understanding of the finest quality glass products and innovative solutions available. His journey in the glass industry fueled his passion to establish a company that would deliver exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.

Driven by his dedication to providing reliable and high-quality services, Ken initially focused on serving the commercial sector, catering to businesses' specific needs for offices and retail outlets. However, word of mouth referrals and the increasing demand for his expertise led him to expand his services to residential clients as well. Today, St. Jacobs Glass Systems enjoys the reputation of a trusted partner for both home and business owners seeking premium glass solutions.

Under Ken's leadership, a skilled four-person team works efficiently from their conveniently located office and workshop just north of Waterloo and south of Elmira. The company's enduring success is a testament to Ken's commitment to excellence and his unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional customer service.
