Scientific research and development rely on precision and accuracy to remove doubt and uncertainty from the equation. Glass Solutions understands these demands and has spent decades developing the processes to ensure total reliability of its scientific laboratory glassware.

As bespoke scientific glass manufacturers, we take traditional hand-crafted skills and blend them with sound engineering practice to elevate our bespoke scientific glassware to precision instrumentation levels. We take pride in producing high-quality glass and engineered components that meet the unique demands of engineers, instrument manufacturers, and the chemical manufacturing industry.

With a legacy spanning years, we have honed our expertise in the delicate art of scientific glassblowing, making us the go-to choice for those seeking custom solutions in laboratory glassware. We go to great lengths to ensure that the bespoke laboratory glassware that we produce always meets of clients’ needs.

Glass Solutions was established to deliver complete process solutions to science and industry. Using our expertise in bespoke scientific glass manufacturing and our engineering prowess, Glass Solutions created complete solutions for our customers. The business has now evolved to focus on the scientific glass products for engineers to integrate into their own designs but still bringing a deep understanding of how to incorporate glass components within an engineered mechanical assembly. Our team take great pleasure in advising and supporting our clients in their endeavours, helping them to overcome the challenges of combining glass and other engineering materials.

Glass Solutions has an extensive range of established products product designs that cater to a diverse array of scientific needs. These designs can form the basis of bespoke scientific glass solutions that meet your specific needs. This extensive library of bespoke laboratory glassware can be easily reproduced or modifications to the design can be made at minimal cost or delay. Manufacturing of scientific glassware can be performed cost effectively in single units or can be scaled up to multiple 1000s. There is no barrier to achieving a bespoke glass component or system, even if the demand is for a single item.

In addition to providing access to many of the world’s most advanced scientific glass-blowing techniques, the team can advise you on custom glassware design and applications. Laboratory glass is a familiar sight in every lab, however, the knowledge of integrating this material within scientific instruments and systems is not so common. If you have identified glass as the right material for your product but you’re not sure how best to implement its use then we are here to help.

If you need an engineered metal or plastic component for your product, you may contact a precision engineering workshop. If you need a component in glass, where do you go?

Bespoke scientific glassblower, Glass Solutions, is able to produce both prototype and production volumes of borosilicate glass components. Focusing on product quality and service reliability, Glass Solutions understands the demands of engineers and instrument manufacturers and has decades of experience meeting those needs.

Glass Solutions takes pride in our ability to manufacture complex, engineered glass components that seamlessly integrate into scientific apparatus.

Scientific glassware is synonymous with the laboratory environment, its clarity, chemical resistance, easy of cleaning and temperature resistance make it the prefect choice for an endless number of experiments and studies.

With over 200 years of combined experience, Glass Solutions is perfectly placed to help you exploit these properties, maximise your efficiency and exceed your scientific goals.

For many users, standard scientific glassware is perfectly adequate, and Glass Solutions is very capable of meeting those requirements. For those that face tougher challenges or simply want an advantage over a competitor, then a bespoke laboratory glassware solution is often the perfect answer.

The chemical, drug and food manufacturing industries have some special requirements from their bespoke glassware manufacturer. While product precision and performance are key, quality and reliability are absolutely essential. Glass Solutions has been working in this sector for more than 20 years, and are familiar with the supplier validation process required. As a certified ISO 9001 and 45001 business, we have the processes, systems and controls in place to help ensure that we meet your quality requirements.

At Glass Solutions, we understand that the choice of glassware partner can play a pivotal role in the success of scientific experiments and research. Here’s why our bespoke glassware stands out.

Glass Solutions has both the capability and flexibility to manufacture products at all physical scales and different production volumes for single pieces to many thousands. Our agile manufacturing process mean that we can efficiently produce small quantities, but we also have the manpower and facilities to easily scale up product to meet high demands or tight deadlines. Whether it’s laboratory glassware, engineered components, or chemical manufacturing glassware, Glass Solutions has you covered.

We specialize in the use of borosilicate glass, a material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to thermal shock. The glassblowers at Glass Solutions have decades of experience in using this material, developing our own processes, tools and methods to facilitate production of literally 1000’s of different product designs. Increasing in scale and diameter can present problems for many competitors, we are proud to be well equipped to deal with the largest sizes and have the talented scientific glass blowers capable of working as the jumbo sizes. Our large workforce means that we also have some glassblowers that specialise in intricate and complex pieces of miniature scientific glassware.

Glass Solutions thrives on creating custom solutions. We work closely with our customers to understand their unique requirements and turn their design concepts into tangible products. Where appropriate, we work with your own designers and engineers helping them to develop the correct specification and shrink you own development timelines. This level of customization ensures that our glassware meets the specific needs of each client.

Glass Solutions takes great care to recruit and train talented individuals who are truly dedicated to the art of scientific glassblowing. We take time to nurture each one individually, providing them with the skills and tools for success. We strongly believe that by creating the best possible conditions the magic will happen, the result is a high performing team who support and encourage each other in everything they do. For our customers, this means efficient and cost effective production, with every person in the supply chain taking care and ownership of the products that they produce. Above all else, it is the cornerstone of our attitude to quality.

Quality is at the core of everything we do at Glass Solutions. Having the right conditions for success is important but having the right controls and processes is vital. Glass Solutions has pioneered the approach of making scientific glassblowing an engineering discipline rather than an art form. This starts at the sales process, capturing the right data and developing the manufacturing drawings. We have introduced in process controls to reduce waste and lower costs and finally every product is fully inspected to the agreed drawings.

At Glass Solutions, we prioritize our customers. We understand the importance of on time delivery and as such have made it a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that we work hard to exceed. Occasionally, things will go wrong, that’s when it’s more important than ever to have clear and timely communication with our customers, agree mitigations and work hard to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.
