Giving its customers a break would never occur to Guardian Industries, one of the world's largest glassmakers. With plants in 17 countries on five continents, Guardian primarily produces float glass and fabricated glass products for the automobile and construction markets. It also makes architectural glass, fiberglass, and automotive trim parts. Through its Guardian Building Products Group, the company operates Guardian Fiberglass, Builder Marts of America (BMA) -- 20% owned by Ace Hardware, and Cameron Ashley Building Products. President and CEO William Davidson took Guardian Industries public in 1968 and bought it back for himself in 1985. Davidson is the managing partner of the Detroit Pistons NBA team.
