Glass America President David Rohlfing Elected AGRSS Council Board Vice-President/President-Elect

The Board of Directors of the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council (AGRSS) Inc. elected David Rohlfing, president of Glass America, to serve as vice president/president-elect during its spring meeting in Charlottesville, Va.

Rohlfing’s term began April 1.

“I am very honored to be selected as the vice president of the AGRSS Council and a member of the Board of Directors,” says Rohlfing. “There are many dedicated companies and individuals who have worked very hard to promote AGRSS over the years and I look forward to working with all of them.”

He adds, “AGRSS, and the upcoming validation process, is critical to our industry and can benefit every auto glass shop, regardless of membership. I urge all retailers who have not yet registered with AGRSS to do so and put their energy into supporting the Standard and keeping consumers safe across the country.”

Rohlfing got his start in the industry in 1972 as an auto glass installer in Florida. He held numerous positions there, including store manager and sales representative, before taking over the business.

Throughout the years, he has gone on to work with a variety of auto glass companies including Windshields America. In 20043, he joined with several investors to purchase Glass America and today serves as president and chief executive officer of the Chicago-based company. Glass America has 94 locations in 22 states.

The Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) Council Inc. is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass. AGRSS was founded and is supported by companies in the auto glass replacement industry that keep safe installation as their primary goal. The Council is also accredited by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) – a standard development organization – and has developed North America’s only auto glass replacement standard, the AGRSS Standard (ANSI/AGRSS 002-2002). The AGRSS Standard addresses procedures, education and product performance.
