Crystal Window & Door Systems, a Benton Township-based manufacturer, was the small business spotlighted at the December 21 Lackawanna County Commissioners Meeting. Owner Thomas Chen embodies the American Dream. He came to America from Taiwan in 1982 and began to manufacture windows in his garage. Now 25 years later, he and his son, Steven, oversee operations in New York City, Chicago, California and Missouri with 500 employees. The Benton Township facility is the firm’s newest facility staffed by 35 individuals.
