ABOUT SYRACUSE GLASS COMPANY

Focus on the Customer
Syracuse Glass has grown substantially over the last century. But at our core, we are still a family-owned, independent distributor and fabricator. Operationally and practically speaking, this enables us to sustain our business philosophy…a customer relationship rather than a "job" focused company. Our customer relationships span decades and generations! Repeat business from these satisfied customers is the foundation that underlies our success and longevity. We try to improve these valued relationships day in and day out, job after job, year after year by being responsive, helpful, honest and accountable.

Everyone at Syracuse Glass, including management, sales personnel, customer service representatives, estimators, fabricators, administrative staff and truck drivers are committed to treating our customers like guests in our homes. We make it habit to know our customers by name, not by account number.


A Company with Heart
The James Dwyer Jr. Memorial fund, a part of the CNY Community Foundation, was established in September 1998 at the time of Jim's sudden and unexpected death from cardiac arrest. Initially, the fund purchased and sponsored training for Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) for many public gathering places. Currently this donor-advised fund endows an annual scholarship at Corcoron High School and supports many worthwhile community efforts. Syracuse Glass profits provide a good share of the fund's resources.
