History
During our long history
at Premier Glass we have manufactured everything
from optical lenses to prisms for tanks.
The company was formed by Albert Henry Chattin
MBE, passed down to Peter Chattin and is now
under the safe hands of Mr Tristram Chattin.
The business started when Albert Henry Chattin
started making decorative lights in a condemned
farm house his his parents has moved to after
being bombed whilst living in Birmingham during
the Second World War.
On a shoestring budget of just £100
and with a young baby to think of Mr Chattin
rapidly built up the business, moving to more
suitable premises and turned to manufacture
of optical lenses. By 1947 the company was
employing over 20 staff and at one stage was
the sole supplier of lens blanks to F W Woolworth
stores throughout the United Kingdom. The
company then moved into the the production
of lenses for gun sights and cameras, lenses
for BSA meteor rifles and the last British
camera the Periflex made in Wolverhampton
were all made made by Premier Glass. Other
products we have made include concave mirrors
for cinema projection, but it was the boom
in the construction industry in the 1960's
that brought about the biggest change in direction
Premier Glass.

Premier
Glass began manufacturing shop fronts and
aluminium window frames, and in 1976 Mr Peter
Chattin saw uPVC windows for the first time,
he recognised that they would revolutionise
the industry and the following year Premier
Glass became the first manufacturer of these
windows in the Midlands and one of the first
in the UK.
The company has established a wide customer
base over the years, with sales being divided
between domestic and commercial, including
local authorities, education authorities and
hospital boards. |
