The deal-clinching factor was Glaston\u2019s agreement to get the new furnace installed, commissioned and\u00a0running saleable tempered glass in just three weeks. With his<br \/>\nexceptional ability to orchestrate teamwork, David Stone, CEO of\u00a0Kensington Glass Arts, coached the joint teams into completing this nearly impossible schedule on time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of buying new equipment, we got\u00a0a used Tamglass along with new CNC and\u00a0polishing equipment in 2002. After using the old furnace for 15 years, it was a clear priority on our list to upgrade,\u201d David explains. \u201cThe market has improved over the past five years. So, we have had our eyes set on upgrading how we fabricate glass, as this area offers us the biggest growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David had been tracking manufacturers of tempering furnaces for a number of years.\u00a0He also visited the top international glass shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe reached out to several manufacturers\u00a0to find out how long it would take them to deliver a new tempering furnace, what all would be involved, and what would be the costs and process. We stipulated that the new furnace had to be up and running in three weeks from the time that the delivery crates arrived. The ultimate challenge, I\u00a0guess,\u201d David smiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I was already predisposed to liking\u00a0Glaston, I listened to all they agreed on \u2013\u00a0and was convinced by their confidence in\u00a0being able to help us make the deadline,\u201d\u00a0he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, it all went well, because\u00a0everyone did their best to pull together. By\u00a0June 12, the new furnace was producing\u00a0glass, exactly three weeks to the day,\u201d\u00a0David says with a smile \u2013 exactly what\u00a0Glaston promised. \u201cThe entire project\u00a0worked because we were all on board fully\u00a0to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.pardot.com\/kensington-glass-art-RC350\">Read more about the project<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19113 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/glaston.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kensington-960x540.png\" alt=\"Kensington Glass Art USA chooses Glaston RC350 glass tempering furnace\" width=\"960\" height=\"444\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharpening the edge in a niche interior market Celebrating 40 years of being in business, Kensington Glass Arts decided it was time to upgrade its old Tamglass furnace to Glaston\u2019s RC350.
