Description

It is a subsidiary of Belron, which is in turn owned by the Belgian D'Ieteren group. Belron operates similar companies in other countries, including Carglass in most of Europe, Autoglass in Britain and Ireland, Belron Canada Inc. in Canada, O'Brien in Australia, and Smith & Smith in New Zealand.

Prior to being purchased by Belron, Safelite had been owned by J.P. Morgan & Co. – a result of the company's 1997 bankruptcy filing.

The company is composed of four major business operations that include:

  • automotive glass fulfillment services, operating under the trade name Safelite AutoGlass
  • a windshield-manufacturing business called Safelite Glass Corp.
  • a wholesale business named Service AutoGlass
  • a claims-management services provider named Safelite Solutions
  • Safelite AutoGlass operates in all 50 states.
