ABOUT US
From humble beginnings, Saper Glass has evolved into one of the country’s leading glass and glazing specialists. The company was first incorporated back to the early 50’s and was purchased by the current ownership in 1987.
Back then Saper Glass was a fairly typical general glass and glazing contractor, working out of a modest industrial unit in Ilford, Essex, selling cut sized glass to the trade and undertaking shop front and emergency glazing works.
In 1997 the company began it’s transformation with the acquisition of local rival Anbarns Glass. Known for their expertise in all types of glass processing works this acquisition greatly enhanced Saper’s in house production capabilities and gave the ability to successful tackle more complex works.
1997 also saw Saper Glass along with the other group companies (Thames Contract and ESB Services) move into a new purpose build factory and office facility on a 32,000 Sq foot site in Barking, Essex. The company grew swiftly once established in it’s new home and the factory to was furnished with state of the art glass processing equipment.

In 2004 the company further expanded it’s capabilities with the acquisition of Westminster Guild, a leading architectural metalwork contractor which provided Saper Glass with the unique capabilities of being able to undertake a complete metal and glass package fully designed and fabricated in house.
In 2005 the company acquired Paragon Glass Designs.
