About Us
North Geelong Glass is a locally owned and family oriented business. It was started in 1989 by Terry Panczyk. He began operating from the garage in his back yard, with the plan to one day move into a factory in the North Geelong area. After learning his apprenticeship in 2 different fields, the factory (joinery glazing) and then transferring to on-site work (with Oliver Davey) glazing lead to many different jobs from where Terry got a good knowledge in this field.
In 1992 the business moved to a factory in North Geelong where it began to grow with a loyal customer base. Due to carrying heavier glass shop fronts and not having overhead crane to load or unload vehicles, we were looking to move again. Eventually in 2001 after an explosion in a local bakery, which levelled several shops, Terry purchased the land and begun to construct the current building which is on the main road coming into Geelong. As a result of now having an overhead crane we have the ability to import our glass directly from overseas manufacturers and pass that saving on to you the customer.
What we do at North Geelong Glass
Well if its glass related I am sure we can help you, if not, we will definitely point you in the right direction. Whether you are after a small piece of glass, a mirror, a picture frame or maybe you need a small or large glass panel replaced in your home, office, factory or business, we can help. While we can also measure up for a new or replacement mirror, balustrades and pool fences are also few items we do. Again, if you are renovating why not think about a frameless shower screen or a splash back for the kitchen. Moreover, you may need a glass table top or some glass shelving. Our services are endless, if its glass we are the people that can help.
