Glass Makers and Metal Workers Can Now Reach New Online Consumer Audience

The new galleries will provide consumers with a rich resource of custom glass makers and custom metal workers able to produce one-of-a-kind custom products.

CustomMade.com provides custom makers, now including wood, metal and glass, with the necessary tools to find a global audience for their services.

For consumers and members of the design trade, CustomMade.com is the primary online source for locating a custom maker.

“The addition of glass and metal galleries was a result of consumers telling us what they wanted. We are always trying to listen to our consumer to better understand their needs. Future plans are to include additional galleries, CustomMade.com is always looking for feedback about which galleries to open next,” says CEO and Co-Founder Michael Salguero.
