Jane MacPherson has been CEO of a premier industrial and military glass company since 2019. MacPherson & Company is recognized as a visionary in the specialized field of safety glass. With a strong engineering background and an unwavering commitment to innovation, Jane MacPherson has expanded the company into a leading supplier of high-performance glass products expertly designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industry, military applications, and extreme environments.

Under MacPherson’s leadership, the company has expanded on an impressive range of products, including Explosion Resistant Glass and Heat Shield Glass, that provide robust protection for people, equipment, and critical infrastructure. From Blast Resistant Glass to Bulletproof Glass, these solutions are trusted in high-stakes environments where strength and durability are paramount. By adhering to stringent safety standards such as UL 752 Level 5, these products have become synonymous with resilience and reliability, meeting and exceeding the strict requirements of both military and industrial sectors. The company even offers glass that is 10 times stronger than typical bullet-resistant options, showcasing its commitment to uncompromising safety.

MacPherson has driven the development of innovative solutions like Anti-Splatter Glass and Anti-Pitting Glass, which are essential in environments exposed to abrasive elements and high-impact activities. In settings where machinery operates under extreme conditions, these specialized glass types ensure long-lasting durability. Moreover, Walkable Glass Floors—designed for applications such as Crane Cabs—can support the heavy loads of industrial equipment while providing clear visibility, enabling workers to maintain safe and efficient operations.

Through her strategic vision, MacPherson has also expanded the company’s offerings to meet the needs of Melt Shops and high-temperature facilities, including Blast Furnaces and Hot Pits. With products like BPS™ Heat Shield Glass and Radiant Heat Resistant Glass, she has ensured the company serves industries that demand exceptional temperature resistance and structural stability. For instance, Borosilicate Soda Lime glass is crafted to endure intense thermal expansion, making it ideal for environments where molten metal and extreme heat are common. This focus on high-temperature performance has solidified the company’s reputation as a trusted supplier of industrial glass for industries with stringent safety and durability requirements.

MacPherson’s dedication to addressing the specific needs of the military sector is another defining feature of her leadership. By developing Industrial and Military Glass that withstands extreme impacts, her team has delivered reliable solutions for protective structures, vehicles, and sensitive facilities where defense against blasts and ballistic threats is essential. The company’s Bulletproof Glass and Blast Resistant Glass are vital components of Mobile Equipment Glass and other military applications. Additionally, products like Safe-Shield™ Safety Glass with IRR (Infrared Reflecting) provide essential visibility, energy efficiency, and heat reduction—features that are indispensable for defense applications without compromising strength.

MacPherson’s comprehensive approach to glass safety also encompasses the infrastructure that supports each installation. Products like the Steel Inner Frame Window and Stainless Steel Banded Window, as well as specialized sashes like the Mark II Rolling Sash and H-Sash, ensure stability and resilience across applications. By integrating these engineered components, the company provides a full-service approach to glass safety, reinforced by high-quality installation solutions like EASY-RELEASE™ Retainers and Silicone Sponge Seals. These ensure that each piece of glass is securely installed, stable, and optimally effective.

Beyond product innovation, MacPherson has built a robust customer support framework to help clients uphold the highest standards in safety and durability. The company provides essential services such as Product Consultation, Design Configuration, Installation Supervision, and ongoing support through a dedicated Repair Center. By offering comprehensive service, MacPherson’s company supports clients not only in selecting the right glass but also in maintaining and optimizing their installations over time. Her customer-centered approach establishes the company as a true partner in safety and performance.
