New Glenshaw Glass owner has expansion, regional acquisition plans

A Shaler glass manufacturer resurrected from bankruptcy in late 2005 is now back online and plans to make at least one regional acquisition with the next few months, according to its new owner.

Glenshaw Glass Co., dormant since September 2004, has been restarted by Pittsburgh businessman William Kelman, and since January, has been producing wine bottles for customers in the Northeast and Canada. The company also signed a distribution agreement this week with Vitro Packaging, a Monterrey, Mexico-based sheet and bottle glass distributor that sells to customers throughout North and South America.

Kelman, a native of Scotland who worked at Mellon Financial Corp. before becoming involved in real estate and manufacturing, said the reclaimed Glenshaw Glass now has 45 manufacturing employees and is producing 200 tons of glass per day, with just one of the plant's four furnaces operating at full capacity.

Glenshaw Glass back with new name

The former Glenshaw Glass Co. is seeking to reinvent itself under a new brand.

Glenshaw was liquidated in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding two years ago. The new business is called Kelman Bottles LLC.

Pittsburgh businessman Bill Kelman led a group of investors that bought the 25-acre Glenshaw Glass plant for $3.8 million out of bankruptcy court in 2005.

Kelman Bottles employs more than 100 people, far fewer than the 250 who worked at the former Glenshaw Glass.
