Headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, USA, Glastender traces its origin to 1969 when founder, Jon D. Hall, invented the world’s first automatic rotary glasswasher. The cutting-edge glasswasher design saved space and eliminated wasted steps for bartenders.

 

The second glasswasher sold was incorporated into a pass-thru cocktail station. The station design allowed bartenders and servers to work as a team, doubling bartender output. This started Glastender’s trend of innovation.

​

Jon’s creativity, flexibility, and desire to manufacture high-quality products has been ingrained into the culture of Glastender. Over the years, this enthusiasm for developing products to meet customer needs led to a tremendous expansion of the Glastender product line, which continues to this day.
