Gillinder Glass has been a staple in pressed and molded glass manufacturing in the United States since 1861. Read an overview about Gillinder Glass and stories from collectors. OUR STORY From our beginning in 1861, when the firm produced "Plain, Moulded & Cut Flint Glass Ware in all its Varieties," to today's products “Engineered for Tomorrow’s Technology,” Gillinder Glass has produced custom glassware known for its quality, durability, color, and clarity. When the Company began manufacturing glass chimneys and chemical glassware, we could not have known what the advent of electric lighting would do for our business. Today, our products are incorporated into the best lighting products in the world. Throughout it all, one thing has remained constant; Gillinder's committed to making the Company the leader in the development and production of specialty glass and custom molded components designed to enhance and protect the technology of our customers. During the American Centennial year of 1876, the Gillinder built an exhibition glass factory on Philadelphia's Centennial fairgrounds. Visitors could see huge glass melting pots as well as the actual production of glass Centennial souvenirs. The factory was a tremendous success and one of the exhibition's most popular attractions. Today, examples of Gillinder glass can be found in numerous collections, private and public, including those at the Museum of American Glass, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The firm also recreated historic lighting glassware for the Library of Congress. In 1912, Gillinder Glass moved to Port Jervis, New York, and continued to evolve as one of the premier manufacturers of specially developed glass products for the developing electric light industry. Gillinder is now in its third century of providing high quality glass products with friendly service, growing from a single-focus local business to a world leader of pressed glass in multiple markets. This winning policy is evident today as Gillinder Glass continues manufacturing to the highest industry standards. Components for lighting and other applications are provided to many domestic and international market segments including airfields, aerospace and defense, architectural, commercial, industrial, landscape, theatrical, and transportation. Each product is backed with over 150 years of quality and know-how. Gillinder Glass has been in the same building in Port Jervis since 1921. Upon entering the historic facade is a modern company whose roots are deep but whose sights are set on a bright future. While 21st century technology, (from state-of-the-art mixing and tempering facilities, to computer-aided presses, to our on-site mold making facility) defines our facility's infrastructure, it is our experienced staff that is the root of the high quality glass products and engineered solutions we offer today. We welcome the opportunity to serve you today and in the years to come. GILLINDER STORIES Recently a local historian reached out to us after coming across an old Gillinder desk lamp that belonged to her father. Lauren said her father had a habit of choosing “significant” items to store away. Gillinder started to manufacture these blown cased shades as well as other cased shades in the mid to late 70s. Cased glass is composed of two layers of different colored glass, with the inside generally a dense opal. The dense opal was gathered first, then the core ball was blown, then it was covered with the second color, a green or amber hue. Gillinder continued to make these into the mid 80s. Do you have a story to share about Gillinder Glass? Tell us your story and send images to: cjansure@gillinderglass.com . This photo was sent to us from Ken when he came across his great grandfather, George Schauer’s, employee badge and this commemorative Gillinder box. George’s badge was issued in the 1930's and the bicentennial commemorative box was issued in 1976. The factory updated the box's design in the 1990’s (removing the dates from the sides) and sold them in the Gillinder store for many years.

Port Jervis, NY — As 2025 ushers in new beginnings, Gillinder Glass is thrilled to announce its partnership in one of the world’s most iconic celebrations—the New Year’s Eve Ball at Times Square. In September 2024, Gillinder Glass was commissioned by a partnering firm to explore a new design for the 2026 New Year’s Eve Ball. After a comprehensive selection process, including a facility tour of the Port Jervis manufacturing plant, real estate firm Jamestown, the owner of One Times Square, awarded the contract to Gillinder Glass to manufacture the glass tiles for the 2025 ball. The company’s team worked closely with partners during the design phase, finalizing three unique versions of the triangular glass tiles. A total of 2,688 tiles were manufactured, embodying the precision and craftsmanship synonymous with Gillinder Glass. Production began in late November, with Gillinder’s skilled workforce setting new benchmarks in quality and efficiency to ensure on-time delivery for this globally celebrated event. The triangular glass tiles will adorn the six-ton New Year’s Eve Ball, which boasts 32,256 LED lights, creating a dazzling display for millions worldwide. The New Year’s Eve Ball has been a beloved tradition since its inaugural descent in 1907 atop One Times Square. Over the years, the ball has undergone seven transformations, each iteration reflecting technological and artistic advancements. Today, One Times Square is undergoing its own transformation into a year-round destination for art, technology, and entertainment—making this partnership even more meaningful.  The NYE Ball was recently retired in a joyous occasion!  The Ball will be dismantled and put on display inside the Times Travel immersive history experience to be viewed year-round when it opens later this year. Gillinder Glass takes immense pride in contributing to this historic celebration. “As a company with a legacy spanning over 160 years, it’s an honor to showcase true American craftsmanship on such a prominent stage,” said Jim Jones, President and CEO of Gillinder Glass. Beyond its role in the New Year’s Eve Ball, Gillinder Glass has also been involved in other significant projects, creating designs for institutions such as the Museum of American Glass, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and the Library of Congress.   ### About Gillinder Glass Since 1861, Gillinder Glass has been a cornerstone of American manufacturing, producing custom-designed products for industries ranging from aerospace and defense to commercial, industrial, architectural, and design sectors. Renowned for its expertise in pressed and molded glass, Gillinder specializes in over 70 glass compositions and offers advanced capabilities such as heat strengthening, etching, and drilling to meet diverse customer needs.

In 1865 Gillinder Glass was established, and they opened a glass pressing factory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was only forty years after John P. Bakewell invented the first commercial glass-pressing machine. Blackwell’s invention “quickly led to the mass production of glassware and greatly reduced its cost, leading to glassware being available for everyday use.* Today, Gillinder Glass still hand presses every piece of glass they manufacture. Advances in technology and greater customer demand has allowed Gillinder to start utilizing automated equipment for glass pressing and maximizing efficiencies. Glass pieces are generally made by pouring the molten glass into a mold and having a “plunger” pressed into the iron base. Almost all Gillinder’s molds are made from ductile iron, but some may require an A-2 tool steel or stainless steel may be used. Today, as an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, Gillinder’s Port Jervis factory is held to high standards of manufacturing quality and the in-house mold shop is no exception. Gillinder’s mold shop can collaborate with customers in designing new custom molds or refurbishing existing ones. Gillinder Glass has the capability to manufacture with customer’s existing hand pressed molds. Machine pressed molds can be used by making adjustments to be compatible with current equipment. Mold Shop supervisor, Lewis Still, explains, “Molds that run constantly usually need nothing more than a simple polishing, but sometimes they do need repair work. Average life span on mold equipment is about 5 years. After that, the tooling will start to develop what we call “fire cracks” which are stress fractures in the material from constantly being hot and cold.” Molds are housed in a special atmospherically controlled storage area and maintained in pristine condition after each use to ensure consistent production of the highest quality glass. Gillinder also has the ability to do prototyping and programing. In addition to working with almost all current software systems, the mold shop is equipped with: · Fadal Computer Controlled Vertical Milling Center 3016L · Computer Controlled Bridgeport Horizontal Lathe · Bridgeport Series 2 Vertical Milling Machine · LeBlond Horizontal Lathe · TUR 63 Lathe · Welding and Braising Shop (including gas spray welding) Gillinder has created molds for an array of products including headlights, traffic lights, dog food bowls, kitchenware, and even dental cuspidors. In the Spring of 2022, to further expand the Mold Shop’s capabilities, Gillinder is acquiring an additional CNC milling machine. The CNC milling machine precisely cuts molds from various design software to meet customer’s expectations in design and specification.
