Company ProfileUnique varieties. Innovative technology. Exceptional quality. That's what customers of the Glass Corner Greenhouse have come to expect for the past 24 years. And that's what they get. Back in 1978 Rick Mast established his own greenhouse at the corner of Bristol and Four Mile Road in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He has a vision of what he wanted to do: become the best propagator/grower of young plants and cuttings. Today, that vision is evident in the 622,000 square feet of growing space at two locations. Glass Corner employs a regular staff of 80, increasing to nearly 130 during peak periods. According to Joyce, who became Rick's partner in 1981 (in marriage and in business) and is now company vice president, "We are committed to quality. We may not be the biggest, but we are striving to be the best." Being the best is something that the Masts and their Glass Corner team work at constantly. A solid focus on customer satisfaction drives their efforts to provide value and variety throughout the year. Glass Corner uses a fibrous medium for propagation, producing hair roots rather than hydroponic roots. When transplanted, these crops root quickly in fresh soil and require less watering. For their customers, that means rooted cuttings that resist the stresses of shipping, handling, and drying out. Another benefit Glass Corner customers enjoy is the cost-savings passed on to them from using the fibrous medium. Another significant difference that sets Glass Corner apart is its bottom-line pricing system. The price quoted to a customer is the price he pays, except shipping. No add-ons. No hidden charges. No surprises on the invoice. Glass Corner has developed an insulated master shipping container that can be delivered by FedEx directly to a customer's door. The master carton is handled carefully with lift trucks, which prevents the box from being turned upside down or damaged by the carrier. The product arrives the way the customer expects it to look. In addition to the vegetative products from Goldsmith and Fischer, the company has created the "Glass Corner Collection", which enables customers to find nearly every vegetative genera from a single source. Customers can choose any of these products and combine them according to their specific needs to receive volume pricing. All this adds up to considerable savings and convenience for growers: no more unnecessary trips to the airport to pick up shipments from different suppliers, and dealing with one source means much less paperwork to manage. Get the Glass Corner advantage every time you order rooted liners: bottom-line pricing, combining items for cost savings, an excellent shipping system, and the assurance of exceptional products. Glass Corner Greenhouses-cornering the market on quality.
