Fueled by a passion for good design, founder and CEO Jane Skeeter creates unique and functional architectural glass products.
UltraGlas Founder and CEO Jane Skeeter, is a leader and innovator who has pushed the boundaries for women in business, as well as her unique vision for architectural glass and surfacing. Skeeter figured out how to permanently color glass by firing pigment into it.
This catapulted UltraGlas into creating many more uses for glass, including translucent designs that could be used on the exterior of buildings, water features, decorating interior walls, and more.
Upshot: "We've pushed the envelope of glass design and know how to retain all of its beauty, without sacrificing safety.”
