Our History

Yankee Glassblower, Inc. was founded by William DeFlorio in 1968. Located in Carlisle, MA, for over 40 years we have been meeting the scientific needs of corporations, universities and government organizations alike.

We have performed a number of experiments involving encasing various materials in glass such as food samples for NASA and metal samples for the Department of Defense. We have been instrumental in the green movement by fabricating various lamps, vials, and sample collectors for studies in ozone depletion and geological studies both on land and under the sea.

We have fabricated glass parts that were used in the early designs of GPS systems and have done numerous repairs and modifications to specialty Schlenk lines used in chemical experiments at MIT.

Yankee Glassblower, Inc. is proud to be an environmentally friendly company. We do not use Hydrofluoric Acid or any other corrosives in our work as these are hazardous to the environment and are difficult to dispose of properly. We reuse convoluted foam for packaging to minimize impact of manufacturing and disposal.
