Founders Miner Gleason and Robert Barhorst
Glebar Company has opened a new parts distribution facility in Dublin, Ireland, to provide 24-hour turnaround for machine components for European customers.
New Jersey-based Glebar will be opening a distribution facility in Costa Rica and already has one in Japan.
Noting 35% of Glebxar revenue is international, CEO Adam Cook said the global locations are vital to “being able to provide essential parts on a 24-hour turnaround basis” for its U.S.-manufactured machines.
Glebar precision grinding machines are used to manufacture a range of products from titanium aerospace fasteners to medical guide wires.
Customer service vice president Mark Scanel said the new locations provide 24/7 parts delivery and “customized inventory and service contract programs to our global customer base.”
In 2015, Glebar consolidated administration and manufacturing into a new and larger 44,560 sq ft headquarters and manufacturing facility in New Jersey.
President John Bannayan noted Glebar has invested millions of dollars in new capital equipment and automation.
“Our new European distribution center is another step toward our continuous improvement mentality,” Bannayan said.
Founded in 1952, Glebar designs and configures its standard platform of modular machine systems – from job shop machines to automated, lights-out grinding packages. Glebar is headquartered at 565 E. Crescent Ave., Ramsey, NJ 07446. Tel: 201 337-1500 Email: info@Glebar.com Web: Glebar.com
