G.James Glass & Aluminium

[1] G.James is a major Australian glass processor, aluminium window and door fabricator & contractor and production of extruded aluminium profiles.

The origin of the G.James Group of Companies began in 1913 when an enterprising George James arrived in Australia after migrating from England.

After working for various building related companies in Brisbane, George decided to use his skills as a glazier, along with his knowledge of sales and purchasing, to establish G.James Glass Merchants at West End (Brisbane) in 1917.

Initially the business was based on buying cases of glass and selling it cut-to-size to timber joiners in Queensland and New South Wales.

Upon George's death in 1958 his son-in-law Joseph (Joe) Saragossi, together with his wife Pearle[2] and sister-in-law Gertie Baratin, founded a private company in 1959.
