BLENKO - THE PEOPLE


The people are what make BLENKO so very special. . .they all work very hard to make a good NO A GREAT product...but even more than this...they try very hard to please each customer...to get to know what each customer wants...Don Lemley knows ANTIQUE GLASS and the Architectural Glass Market, Randy Rider knows the art of glass making, he can look at an item and tell you when it was made how many he might make in an hour and the color #, while Rodney Wade knows the Retail & Shipping areas and has a great knowledge of the working of Blenko, these three combine with a dozen others to make the factory day run every so smoothly.
Its amazing to watch.
If you don't own a business or make stain glass windows you can still purchase Blenko at discount prices from the VISITORS CENTER in Milton.
The Visitors Center is open daily with an observation deck and /self guided tour where you and your family can observe the glass making process. Phone 304 743 9081 .

Is that Don Lemley he looks like he has lost a lot of weight. Is he OK? If he isn't sick, find out the name of the diet and let us know.
