One voice for Minnesota’s glass industry.
We represent the auto glass shops, glazing contractors and suppliers who keep Minnesota’s vehicles and buildings safe — at the Capitol, in the classroom and on the golf course.
Looking for glass repair? We don’t sell glass, but our members do.
Who we represent
Since 1977, MGA has brought the state’s glass businesses together to raise standards, share knowledge and speak as one for safety, our environment and fair competition in a free market.
Auto glass
Repair and replacement shops navigating ADAS calibration, insurance practices and the safety of every windshield they set.
Architectural & flat glass
Glazing contractors, fabricators and storefront specialists working on Minnesota’s homes, schools and commercial buildings.
Suppliers & partners
Manufacturers, distributors and service providers — adhesives, tools, glass and equipment — who keep the trade moving.
Representation at the State Capitol
MGA retains a lobbyist who works for its members year-round, with a strong track record before the legislature, regulatory agencies and the Governor’s office.

A year with MGA
Most of what we do happens face to face. Here’s what members can count on every year.
Board happy hours
Casual evenings with the board and industry friends, usually at Rail Werks Brewing Depot in Columbia Heights.
Annual Golf Classic
The association’s biggest day: 18 holes, prizes, dinner and the whole Minnesota glass community in one place.
Education events
Hands-on glazing and auto glass demonstrations, ADAS calibration, safety and business topics.
Member outing
A Twins game, a day of fishing or another excursion — a reason to get away from the shop together.
2027 Annual Golf Classic
Mark your calendar for June 2027. Last year’s Classic at The Refuge in Oak Grove brought the industry together for a full day on the course. Sponsorships and foursome registration open this spring.
