We are very pleased that they have decided to partner up with Cary Group. Together with our existing bus and coach businesses in Germany and the Nordics, this acquisition allows us to further strengthen our European footprint and better serve customers with multi-country operations”, says Anders Jensen CEO of Cary Group.

 

“Becoming part of Cary Group gives Glazing access to international expertise, improved purchasing opportunities and a strong European network, while preserving our entrepreneurial culture and customer focus,” says Patrick Collignon and Alexandre Marcq, owners of Glazing Services.
