History

The NOVUS origin story began in 1972 in the United States of America. After having three windshields replaced due to small breaks, Dr Frank Werner went to work on finding a solution to fix breaks without having to replace the entire windshield. With the help of chemical engineer Bill Wiele, the pair developed what is acknowledged still today as the best method of windshield glass repair. In 1972, Gerald Keinath bought the patent rights for windshield repair and designed a business plan to take it to the people. The company started as a home business and then the name was changed to NOVUS, which is the Latin word for 'new' or 'innovative'. NOVUS has been awarded more US patents for windshield repair than any other company in the windshield repair industry. NOVUS Autoglass Repair and Replacement is part of a leading global network in the automotive aftermarket services sector.
