Major Industries

Major Industries

Company Background

Major Industries is your one-stop source for energy-saving daylighting solutions! Major has been manufacturing quality daylighting products for three decades and offers a complete line of translucent, glass, polycarbonate and acrylic skylights as well as translucent curtainwall systems. With the lowest failure rates in the industry, we've earned the trust of leading architects, engineers and other specifiers.

Company History

Founded in 1980, Major Industries has long been recognized as a leader in the translucent daylighting industry. Major was purchased by its current owners in 1993, and a stronger commitment to our customers and employees has increased our sales volume nearly 1000% and added significantly to the number of clients who repeatedly specify and use our skylights and translucent curtainwall.

There is only one other competitor in the world that manufactures Major's primary type of commercial skylight and curtainwall, and since 1993 Major has captured significant market share. Because of this growth, Major Industries expanded to 75% more floor space in 1998, and then again in 2001, bringing the manufacturing facility to a total of over 52,000 square feet. This additional space, along with state-of-the-art computerized manufacturing and accounting system, allows for improved material handling capabilities, efficiency, and the ability to better serve our rapidly growing customer base.

Innovative Efforts

Everyone at Major is focused on producing quality daylighting solutions, but we recognize that without satisfied customers, product means nothing. To that end, we’ve made considerable investments to improve the lines of communication with customers. Major demands a standard of honesty from its employees. They are obligated (required!) to be honest and forthright, and this emphasis on integrity has won new customers and increased our number of return customers.

In 1999, Major transitioned from a largely manual manufacturing process to a state-of-the-art integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Since 2004, Major has automated the drafting of customer submittal drawings needed for our skylights and translucent curtainwall which allows our engineering staff to focus on the supporting technical details necessary to produce a world-class quality product.

In the past, custom-made building products were "priced" or estimated manually with labor-intensive methods, which took hours or even days to accurately complete. Major Industries was the first company in the commercial daylighting industry to computerize the bidding process with the development of SkyPrice™, an online quote system. SkyPrice™ allows users to get fast, guaranteed accurate quotes in a significantly reduced amount of time compared to traditional methods.
