Marsco Transforms into Engineered Glass Products

50-Year-Old Glass Industry Giant Forms New Corporation and Launches New Website

CHICAGO, Ill. (July 30, 2004) – Marsco, one of the most trusted names in the glass industry, is entering a new era with a new identity: Engineered Glass Products. Under the EGP banner, the company will pioneer the emerging field of heated glass technology, which was first developed by Marsco engineers. In fact, EGP is the leading explorer of this new science and the exclusive designer of Hot Glass™ products.

Internet visitors can read up on EGP’s current applications, which include Hot GlassTM products for use in restaurants, hotels, architecture, office furniture, and more.
