In a display of innovation, SHIELDS Windshields of Martinsville, Ind., is launching a new windshields product — a Case Minotaur polycarbonate front windshield — by fulfilling a special-order request from a customer.

SHIELDS' team of experts collaborated to ensure the new product would deliver outstanding performance, durability and functionality. Throughout the design and development process, the manufacturer is leveraging the latest advancements in polycarbonate technology and manufacturing techniques.

By utilizing proprietary techniques and their SUPERCOAT hard coating, SHIELDS windshields not only enhance driver safety but also prolong the lifespan of the windshield, according to the company.
