History
Architectural Glass and Aluminum (AGA) was founded in 1970 by 5 employees and established in the San Francisco Bay Area.[3] Recently AGA has taken the structure of a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP).[4] Following years of executing contract and service work, AGA has now expanded to become a major Pacific Rim company, with full service offices in Livermore, Temecula, and Sacramento. AGA continues to grow, having now completed projects in the states of California, Hawaii, Washington, Alaska and Texas.[5] In 2014 AGA ranked 28th for ENR California's Top Specialty Contractors.[6]
