Do the Math: The ROI of Frameless Shower Door Production with the JRS "ONE"

In our first CLEAR CUT blog, we made it clear that IGE is a family-owned legacy distribution company, representing — exclusively in North America — 15 family-owned glass machine manufacturers. Each of these companies focuses on producing only one type of product used in glass fabrication. The result is that IGE is a true single-source supplier, bringing the best manufacturers in the world together without conflict.

But as a fabricator, you know this simple truth: when raw glass comes in, your money goes out. When fabricated glass goes out, your profit comes in. That’s why results matter — measurable results in production, efficiency, and profit. And that’s where IGE’s featured October machine comes in: the JRS "ONE".

Prices vary from fabricator to fabricator, depending on location and various other business factors, but for sample purposes, let’s focus strictly on the cost of finished holes and notches: $80 per frameless shower door (2 finished holes + 2 finished notches).

Now do the math:

1. $80 × 20 doors/hour = $1,600/hour

2. $1,600/hour × 10 hours/day = $16,000/day

3. $16,000/day × 240 days/year = $3,840,000 annual revenue potential

That’s what the JRS ONE makes possible. And remember: these figures are based on a conservative 3 minutes per door. In reality, the JRS ONE runs closer to 2 minutes,15 seconds or less per door when paired with IGE’s MiniMaxi tooling solutions, driving throughput and ROI even higher.

Here’s another perspective: the JRS ONE only requires an approximate 400 square feet of factory floor space — compared to, in some cases, double that footprint for vertical solutions. That’s a remarkably small footprint for a machine that generates this level of productivity and value.

👉 Pull out your phone, open your calculator, and run the numbers with your own pricing. That’s the beauty of this machine: it doesn’t just look good on paper, it delivers in your plant — every day, every shift, every year. At IGE, we’ll help you see exactly how the JRS ONE pays back in your operation. Because business is about people — and it’s also about profit.
