2007

SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire rated glazing and framing products, has filed a law suit against Anemostat of Carson, CA, Technical Glass Products of Kirkland, WA and Pilkington PLC, a U.K. based company, for patent infringement of its SuperLite I-W, a CPSC Cat. II safety-rated wired glass product.  The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that each defendant is currently marketing and/or selling a product identical to SAFTI FIRST’s patented SuperLite I-W.

SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire-rated glazing and framing products, saw an increase of 124% in SuperLite I-XL sales for the first six months of 2007 when compared to sales during the same period of 2006. Current sales of SuperLite I-XL have already exceeded total 2006 annual sales.

SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire rated glazing and framing products, now offers SuperLite C, CS, CP and CSP with a fast 5-day lead time at new extremely competitive prices.  This is due to recent investments in state-of-the-art, computer-aided manufacturing equipment in the Merced, CA factory, enabling the company to maximize efficiency and output in their day-to-day operation.

SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire-rated glazing and framing products, prevailed in a patent infringement lawsuit against Jerry’s Glass of Beverly Hills, CA and his various companies.  The litigation began in July 2005 when SAFTI FIRST filed legal action before the US District Court for the Northern District of California, asserting violation of U.S. Patent No. 5,910,620 assigned to SAFTI FIRST’s SuperLite I-XL product.  As alleged in the lawsuit, after SAFTI FIRST gave Mr. Glass a bid to install SuperLite I-XL  in fire and safety rated locations at a Beverly Hills senior assisted living center, and met with the Beverly Hills building department to get it approved, Glass (through a new company called FRG2000) substituted his own imitation product for SuperLite I-XL.
