About xglas
xglas is a glazier and glass producer headquartered in Trimmis in the canton of Graubünden. Founded in 1983 by Urs Oswald as a mobile 'express glazier' service, the family-owned business manufactures and installs insulating glazing, interior glazing such as showers, bathroom and kitchen elements, as well as glass solutions for exterior use, including glass railings and glass structures. Its services include the design and planning of glass projects, manufacturing, installation and a mobile repair service. With a highly modern machine park, xglas processes glass in a wide variety of ways; customers are served at several locations in Graubünden, each with a local contact person. The company relies on renewable energy with solar installations and an electric vehicle fleet. Since 2021, Gabriel Oswald-Salkim, a trained metalworker and graduate mechanical engineer, has led the company.
