Our molded glass manufacturing process allows us to efficiently manufacture a multitude of glass shapes with complex designs and prismatic patterns GLASS PRESSING Gillinder Glass has been a world leader in the manufacture of technical pressed and molded glass for more than one hundred and sixty years. We have the capability to press and mold components as small as <1" in diameter. Our molded glass manufacturing process allows us to efficiently manufacture a multitude of glass shapes with complex designs and prismatic patterns with run sizes ranging from 50 pieces to 120,000 pieces annually. Gillinder Glass utilizes a range of manual and automated glass molding production processes that allow us precise control to match almost any dimensional and technical specification that will be applicable to a certain component. Molded glass components we currently manufacture are trusted in almost any conceivable application, ranging from wingtips of fighter jets and harsh and hazardous location fixtures on all seven continents (think offshore oil rigs and airfields), to underwater and marine lighting fixtures, food storage and prominent art installations. Today, we utilize multiple furnaces for rapid turnaround on part runs and color composition melts. This allows us to reduce lead times and manufacture in smaller runs when required.

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.

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.
