US Global Glass (dba "FLT Glass") was a second phase startup laminated glass manufacturer. Primary markets were residential window & door manufacturers and commercial glaziers across the SE US and Caribbean. US Global purchased FLT Glass before the company was fully operational, built an experienced management team, funded the purchase of assets, start-up costs and working capital and developed the business processes which built FLT Glass into a leading provider of architectural glass in South Florida with annual production of over 3.4 million square feet. As Finance Manager, I was instrumental in optimizing working capital through negotiation of an asset based loan providing sales growth headroom and materials supplier support. EBITDA increased by $1.0M in less than 24 months.
