Created in France in 1986, the Carglass company specializes in the repair of windshield impacts, the replacement of car windows[2] and the recalibration of the ADAS camera located on the windshield.

Carglass' French headquarters are located in Courbevoie in Hauts-de-Seine, north of the La Défense business district.

Carglass had, at the end of December 2022, nearly 3000 employees, in more than 700 intervention centers[3] and more than 350 workshop-vehicles.[2][4]

The headquarters, in Courbevoie, also includes a car glass repair and replacement center, as well as the corporate repairer university. In 2014, Carglass created the first professional glass operator qualification certificate, recognized by automotive professionals.[5]
