Established in 1861, Gillinder Brothers, Inc. (Gillinder Glass), specializes in custom-molded, hand-pressed, clear and colored glass products “Made in the USA” from both open (Gillinder-owned) and private (customer-owned) molds. Gillinder Glass is a world leader in the manufacture of soda-lime and borosilicate glass “Engineered for Tomorrow’s Technology”. Current products include PAR lenses, convex covers, fresnel lenses, vapor tight and explosion resistant globes, domes, cylinders, industrial globes, sight lenses, and contoured covers. Custom shapes can also be engineered and produced. In addition to producing as much as 50% of the glass components for airfield runway lights for the US market, the Company provides product for lighting and other applications for many industry segments (both domestic and international) including airfield, aerospace and defense, architectural, commercial, industrial, landscape, and theatrical, and transportation (marine, rail, subway, etc.). The Company’s chemists and engineers stand ready to work with customers to assist in the design and development of custom glass products for all industry segments. Using multiple day tanks and pots, as opposed to continuous flow manufacturing techniques, the Company is able to produce multiple product shapes of different colors each day to meet each customer’s specific delivery requirements. But, perhaps even more importantly, it allows us to serve a customer’s needs through their products life cycle from limited introductory quantities, to full maturity production runs, and then heritage volumes. Gillinder Glass is proud of its rich heritage as a US Glass Manufacturer and its long standing (in some cases decades old) relationships with its customers. If you are already a customer, thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you again.
