One standout example of New Jersey innovation will be highlighted on one of the largest platforms in the industry. GGI (General Glass International), headquartered in Secaucus and entering its 125th year in business, has confirmed its participation in GlassBuild America 2025 taking place in Orlando. The fifth-generation, family-owned company has evolved from a traditional glass fabricator into a nationally recognized leader in architectural specialty glass. Their capabilities span everything from fire-rated safety solutions and anti-reflective glass to textured, low-iron, and artistically designed decorative glass. GGI pioneered direct-to-glass digital ceramic printing in North America through its Alice® technology, giving architects an entirely new creative medium for design expression on commercial and residential projects alike. The company continues investing in sustainability, education, and product innovation — reaffirming that longstanding New Jersey businesses are not only preserving their heritage but also driving the future of the built environment.
Growth is also unfolding in the state’s thriving technology and enterprise solutions sector. Knack Systems, a major provider of SAP CX digital transformation services, has brought in Bradley Piver as its new Director of Sales. His arrival marks a strategic step to strengthen the company’s national presence, expand channel partnerships, and accelerate customer success initiatives. Knack Systems continues to enhance New Jersey’s presence in the global tech market by helping businesses modernize everything from operations to customer experience, giving organizations across multiple industries the tools needed to compete and scale.
New Jersey’s industrial sector is seeing similar momentum, as companies invest in stronger infrastructure for manufacturers, warehouses, retail facilities, and commercial properties. Epoxy Floors NJ is expanding its suite of high-performance flooring systems to support the growing demand for durability, safety, and quality in facilities across the state. Their advancements underscore how even behind-the-scenes contractors are essential in building the foundation of New Jersey’s economic expansion.
Several additional initiatives and high-profile developments are shaping the business climate statewide. Policy discussions around taxes, energy investment, and regulatory reform continue to drive debate as leaders work to ensure New Jersey remains competitive while maintaining its strong labor force and innovation ecosystem. Major investments, including a production campus opening by Paramount, demonstrate that the film and digital media industries see long-term potential in New Jersey — especially with continued job creation and entertainment infrastructure on the rise. Real estate investment remains strong as well, highlighted by a $165 million acquisition in Bergen County and the advancement of new affordable housing communities in Burlington.
Partnerships between New Jersey-rooted corporations and national brands are signaling increased confidence in the region’s economic direction. New eateries are expanding into New Jersey communities, energizing local business corridors and reinforcing the state’s reputation as a top destination for food, lifestyle, and retail entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, cybersecurity and digital transformation continue to draw investment, particularly through collaborations involving high-visibility sports and entertainment organizations.
With more companies expanding, relocating, and elevating operations in the Garden State, New Jersey is demonstrating once again that it stands at the intersection of innovation, opportunity, and economic leadership. From longstanding, homegrown manufacturers like GGI to fast-scaling technology firms and infrastructure experts shaping the next generation of commerce, the momentum is undeniable. Businesses continue to choose New Jersey — and New Jersey continues to deliver.
