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 manufactured are trusted in almost any 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. 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. Gillinder's "Re-Press" operation focuses on molding material supplied as a solid blank form. Glass blanks can be supplied from Gillinder or another manufacturer. The blank form is heated to a certain temperature and then re-pressed into a designated size, shape, and pattern. This type of manufacturing process allows for higher surface quality and better precision in smaller size components.

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.
