701 Wabash Ave. Suite 501 Terre Haute, IN 47807-3219 Phone: (812) 232-7037 About Us Our Subsidiaries News Contact Us Located in Terre Haute, Indiana, Glas-Col is a worldwide leader in manufacturing laboratory products for science and industry. Through innovation and acquisition, Glas-Col provides unique and varied lines of equipment. Like many companies, Glas-Col was born out of near disaster. In 1939, a research scientist named Dr. Glen Morey was injured when a gas burner heating an oil bath ignited vapors from a shattered flask of acetone, causing a sudden fire. The inventive Morey knew there must be a safer way to heat chemicals that would eliminate the need for open flame burners and electric heaters with exposed coils. In their spare time, he and his wife, Ruth, developed a heating device with electric resistance wires woven into a fiberglass cloth sheath. They called their invention the “heating mantle” because it completely enveloped a laboratory flask just as the earth’s mantle encloses the planet’s core. To this day, the heating mantle is the standard way to heat in a laboratory, and Glas-Col owns about 98% of the domestic market. Glas-Col’s line of heating mantles includes both fabric and metal-housed versions, and they can also be made on a custom basis to fit specific needs of a laboratory or industry. Glas-Col also supplies accessories to go with the heating equipment, such as temperature controls. Glas-Col responds to customers quickly and with great flexibility. If a custom mantle or mixer is needed, for example, Glas-Col has the on-staff engineers and manufacturing experts to create prototypes and eventually manufacture just one or a few of a certain product. Glas-Col recently adapted a standard mixer for sample preparation work of pesticide in foods, which is now used at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In addition to heating equipment, Glas-Col also manufactures many other products for various markets including, but not limited to, the following: Standard Laboratory Robotic Mixing & Automation Biotech Industry Industrial Market • Heaters • LABNETIX Software • BioNeb® • Can and Drum Heaters • Evaporators • Modular Mixers • Inhalation Exposure System • Glass Plant Heating • Glove Bag™ • Micro-Expression Shaker • Stirmantle • Homogenizers • Pneumatic Egg Punch • Mixers • Lab Accessories • Water Flow Monitor • Rotators • Shakers • Stirrers • Vortexers Glas-Col at a Glance Founded: 1939 Affiliated: 1954 Location: Terre Haute, Indiana Products: Scientific equipment for laboratory and industry On the Web: glascol.com Site Map | Privacy Policy ©2021 Templeton Coal Company.
