Glebar Company Moving Headquarters Out Of Franklin Lakes

After more than 60 years, Glebar Company is relocating and consolidating its three locations in Franklin Lakes to a single office in Ramsey.

The company announced Tuesday that it would open a new state-of-the-art headquarters in Ramsey sometime in the fall.

It is unclear exactly how many people will work at the nearly-45,000 square foot facility at 565 East Crescent Ave. or if any positions will be consolidated or eliminated as a result of the move.

“We simply outgrew our current facilities,” said CEO Adam Cook.

Glebar is an engineering and manufacturing firm that makes precision grinding systems used to manufacture parts for a variety of industries.

The move was prompted by significant domestic business growth and international expansion over the last two years. The number of people the company employs has increased 68 percent in that time.

“Moving our dedicated team to the new building opens up a whole new chapter in the history of Glebar and allows us to push the envelope even further in introducing new products and solutions,” said Robert Gleason, vice president of engineering.

The move will allow the company to better streamline the manufacturing process by using more automation, reduce lead time, and improve production flow using new equipment.
