History
Glasfit was established in 1989 and has spent more than three decades building a national presence in South Africa's glass repair and replacement industry. From its early years, the company focused on automotive glass — repairing chips and replacing windscreens — while gradually expanding into residential and commercial building glass. This dual focus allowed it to serve both individual motorists and larger property and construction clients. A key element of Glasfit's growth has been its network of fitment centres. Today the company operates over 110 centres nationwide, complemented by mobile units that can perform repairs and replacements at a customer's location. This footprint supports fast service across South Africa and underpins the company's national workmanship guarantee. Over time, Glasfit has emphasised product certification and technician training. It stocks SABS-certified glass and says it offers the widest range of SABS-certified and accredited motor glass in the country, including Original Equipment (OE) glass and brands such as Benson, Fuyao, Shatterprufe® and Armourplate®. Technicians must renew Shatterprufe® certification every three years and complete Sika training annually. The company is also an accredited supplier to most South African short-term insurers and a member of industry bodies such as AAAMSA and the South African Glass & Glazing Association. By its own account, Glasfit's enduring values — family, community, trust, service and quality — have helped make it one of South Africa's most trusted brands in its sector. The company continues to position itself around quality, range and value, serving motor, home and professional customers from its national network.
