IMPORTANT NEWS . . .
September 22, 2016: At long last we have some wonderful and exciting news to
share with you about Spectrum Glass products! We have finalized the sale of
SpectrumR Glass and our System 96R brands, equipment, and formulas to
world-renowned glass manufacturer Oceanside Glasstile (OGT) in Carlsbad, CA.
A long-time Spectrum customer, Oceanside Glasstile manufactures high-end
cast glass tile for residential, commercial and pool applications. For
almost twenty-five years OGT has led their segment of the art glass industry
with innovation and design. Upon receiving the announcement about Spectrum's
closing, the opportunity to become the new manufacturer of Spectrum Glass
products was evident - not only for the benefit of securing material for
their own product lines, but a chance to serve the global art glass industry
as a whole.
As an industry-leading glass tile manufacturer, Oceanside Glasstile is
already experienced in colored glass production. With the acquisition of
Spectrum Glass' equipment and color formulas, as well as receiving extensive
in-person training by Spectrum's key manufacturing experts, Oceanside
Glasstile will have the knowledge and tools necessary to continue the legacy
of unique and popular Spectrum sheet glass that customers have relied upon
for forty years.
Spectrum Glass products will now be manufactured at OGT's state-of-the-art
facility located in Tijuana, Mexico. With their long-standing commitment to
being an environmentally concerned manufacturer, they will be utilizing the
same baghouse emission controls that Spectrum Glass has used for over twenty
years.
We couldn't be more pleased to have Oceanside Glasstile assume the
manufacturing of Spectrum's glass products. We are confident that their
commitment to maintaining the brand's attributes will assure that future
generations will be able to source the same beautiful, consistent and high
quality art sheet glass. The owners and employees are passionate, dedicated,
and ready to take on the task at hand - in fact the transition is already
under way. We will provide additional details and updates regarding our
collective progress throughout the months ahead.
