Island Glass was started by Lyle & Helen Grath. It then moved to the Greig family when it was purchased in 1966 by James Greig and his kid brother George. It was originally located in the heart of Richmond at No 3 Rd and Granville across from City Hall.
In 1972 George bought the business from his brother and was joined in the following years by his three sons Kevin, Brent, and Michael. In 1986 George passed the business down to his sons and they soon outgrew their location and moved to the Riverside Business Park in 1996. In 1999 they built their new state of the art facility on Hammermith Gate where they continue to service customers in the Lower Mainland.
George Greig retired in 1989 followed by Mike and Kevin in 2017. It is now run by his son Brent, his grandson Brody, and Brent's son in law Dave.
