At the age of 41, the Founding President, Hector J. Gauthier and his wife decided to defy everything by starting a glazing business. It all began in January 1962 and was named Vitrerie Gauthier Glass Ltd. The mandate will be to provide residential and commercial maintenance and repairs to the local and regional community by offering a variety of glazing services.

On October 1st, 1975, the Founding President passed on the torch to his son Gilles Gauthier. Armed with the courage and determination of his parents, he modifies the mandate by including the sale and the installation of residential doors and windows but mostly the sale, the production and the installation of products for industrial, commercial and institutional fenestrations (ICI). Supported by his staff and his suppliers (Kawneer and Prévost), Vitrerie Gauthier Glass Ltd has earned a reputation of respect, commitment, punctuality and dedication towards its customers.

Licensed and recognized by the unionized authorities of Quebec and Ontario (ICI), the region served by VGL has now expanded to serve Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec (Toronto to Quebec City).

On September 29, 2008, after 33 years acting as President, Gilles Gauthier, in turn, passed on the torch, symbol of loyalty, to three of his employees, Gilles Lacroix, Luc Parisien and Robert Moise.

Under the presidency of Gilles Lacroix and his associates, you are guaranteed the continuation of the reputation.
