The assets
of the former Coolidge Glass, Inc. manufacturing divisions have been
sold to Arch Aluminum
& Glass Co., Inc. Under the name of It's affiliate, Arch
Milwaukee, Inc., production is to resume shortly, out of the Wisconsin
facility. Many former employees have been rehired.
The
manufacturing assets became available from the bank when the sale of
Coolidge to TCGI fell through in December 1999. (See
related Glasslinks Story Dec 13). Coolidge Glass, operating
since the early 1960's, fabricated insulated and tempered glass at the
Wisconsin location. According to president Leon Silverstein,
Arch had been looking for a facility in the Wisconsin and surrounding
market.
The
distribution assets of Coolidge Glass had been previously sold in
January by the bank, to Auto Stock, shortly after Coolidge closed it's
doors. Auto Stock, the wholesale arm of TCG, reopened eight of
the former warehouses in late January of this year. (See
