About The Company
Quality Enclosures, Inc. provides the highest quality shower enclosures and tempered glass with unmatched customer service. Consisting of multiple tempering and mfg facilities, Quality Enclosures is devoted to growth across its market, its employees and the communities it services.
Vertically integrated QEI provides customers with multiple services, including glass tempering, enclosure manufacturing and production, welding and powder-coating.
With over 50 yrs of family tradition and values, Quality Enclosures, Inc. has become a market leader and is unrivaled in both its level of service & craftsmanship of materials.
From our humble beginnings in 1963 when Manny and Richard Schwartz opened one of the first shower door manufacturers in Long Island, New York. At the time, tempered or safety glass was relatively unknown in the industry and most shower doors were made with wire and/or laminate glass that had to be manually cut and fitted for the framed shower door.
Through the '70s & '80s, business thrived throughout the New England area and grew into a regional brand. After his retirement in the '90's, Manny's sons carried the family business forward, with Michael leading the original Long Island location and Steve leading a national growth plan by opening additional manufacturing facilities, tempering plants and distribution in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia.
Quality Enclosures is quickly becoming a national brand because we have always chosen to put our customer first, to conduct our business responsibly and safely and to serve the communities where we live and work.
