Case Study: Glastender achieves sustainable growth and operational excellence with Rehmann

Glastender partners with Rehmann for 35 years of growth and succession planning

Glastender, a family-owned manufacturer of commercial bar equipment, faced significant challenges in transitioning from a loosely managed, founder-led operation to a professionally run organization. This need for professionalization, including establishing HR policies, management structures, and strategic planning, became especially critical after the passing of a key business partner. To address these challenges, Glastender engaged the services of Rehmann for advisory and consulting support.

Rehmann provided comprehensive guidance to Glastender over a 35-year partnership, assisting with recruitment, employee engagement, strategic planning, and financial management. This support was instrumental in helping Glastender navigate a major cultural transformation, implement open-book management, and survive crises like the 2009 cash flow crunch and the pandemic. The results were a strengthened company structure, empowered leadership, and historically low employee turnover, enabling Glastender to grow to over 200 employees while maintaining its legacy of innovation and quality.
