Company Introduction

About Us
Glebar is a world-class engineering, design and manufacturing company, producing precision grinding machines for a variety of end markets and applications. Since its inception, Glebar has been making machines that make things. All of Glebar’s machines are made in the USA, grinding anything from medical guidewires to drumsticks. You can go into virtually any home in the United States and find something made on a Glebar machine.

Founded in 1952 by Miner Gleason and Robert Barhorst, Glebar was established to manufacture machine tools based on the principles of centerless grinding. Located in Franklin Lakes in Northern New Jersey, our expertise in manufacturing has supplied our customers with custom solutions incorporating the latest technology, and produced equipment that provides an efficient and controlled manufacturing process.

Over half a century in operation, Glebar has introduced grinding solutions to our customers, improving throughput by up to 30 times and vastly enhancing the quality of their products and the efficiency of their operations. Glebar's innovations have replaced alternative technologies such as lathes, OD grinders, and Blanchard grinders, with precision, high-volume production turnkey systems. We collaborate with our customers to integrate our systems into their processes, and effectively streamline their production.
