About Us - Our Employees/Careers



Our employees are at the heart of everything we do. Many have been here since the beginning when we were working out of a tiny facility and the only thing big was our dreams. Over the last two decades, we have grown to over 300 dedicated team members who are committed to delivering our customers the very best products and service every day.

All of our design and engineering takes place in our headquarters, just outside of Chicago. What many people don't realize, is that while we source glass from the best artisans from around the globe, nearly all of our assembly takes place right in this facility.

Besides just working hard, we have fun. Through company-wide food-drives, toy-drives and donating our time outside of the office, we give back to the community and foster a sense of family within our organization.
