Re: safelite bankruptcy

Don't knwow but, am interested.

Re: safelite bankruptcy

They emerged from bankruptcy protection a few years back.

Re: safelite bankruptcy

Hal is correct.

From Hoovers:

Safelite Group has the answer to what blew into your windshield. The company, one of the US's largest auto glass retailers, serves more than 2 million customers each year through Jiffy Lube, and Pep Boys service centers as well as its own fleet of mobile repair centers. It makes its own windshields at a factory in North Carolina. Safelite also operates two national call centers for auto glass service scheduling and claims processing. Heavy debt led Safelite to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2000; later that year it emerged from bankruptcy and restructured. Founded in 1947, Safelite merged with rival Vistar in 1997. The company is owned by a group of banks and other former creditors.

Re: safelite bankruptcy

Anyone know if Safelite still plans on moving call centers to Samoa?

Re: safelite bankruptcy

And I had heard they make their glass in Mexico? They make all of it in NC??? Or was that just a half truth?

Re: safelite bankruptcy

ALL Safelite glass is manufactured in the USA. They have a plant in NC and I think one in either OH or KS. They have also buying a lot of XYG.

Re: safelite bankruptcy

THey closed the one in Kansas.

Re: safelite bankruptcy

Only Plant Left is in Enfield,NC. Than you got imports from china(XYG). Also Out of bankruptcy

Re: safelite bankruptcy

Safelite has a very nice plant in NC. I have been there before, they were (back in 95) cranking out some actually (lightning dont strike me for saying this) some decent glass.. Not everything was perfect but it was SOooooooooooooo much better than it was in the 80's. But who knows there are always so many rumors.. I heard that a large insurance company owns some of the safelite network, now if that is true who knows and to be honest.. who cares? if they do good for them...
