Safelite Group announced an agreement to acquire the auto glass assets of New Hampshire-based Thompson Auto Glass. The transaction was completed on Friday, Jan. 5.

All of us on the Safelite team are thrilled to serve the communities that Thompson has called home since 2019.”

Thompson Auto Glass is a well-known New England service brand with a strong focus on its people and high standards of service, which align with Safelite’s values, the company said. The company has three locations in New England with one each in Windham, New Hampshire; Brockton, Massachusetts; and Rocky Hill, Connecticut. The combined businesses expand Safelite’s reach, allowing the company to offer vehicle glass repair, replacement and recalibration services to more customers.
