for me selecting Glazpart as a supplier was one of quality . Our customers demand the highest quality of finished goods and in Glazpart I found a supplier who could not only deliver the

quality products we require but whose overall vision and values matched that of Gap . I have been very pleased with the service that we have received and hope this continues long into the future .”
