The company that would become Glaser Mills was founded in the late 1940s by Fred Glaser (1917-2005). Fred's family had been involved in the textile trading business in Germany for generations before. The pictures above feature the store owned by Fred's grandfather, Wilhelm Bursch (1852-1926) around 1930. This store sold linens, upholstery and other items related to sofas and beds. Growing up in a textile family and working in his grandfather's store, Fred Glaser acquired the skills he would need later in life. Fred fled to America, through Sweden, at the age of 22, after the family store was destroyed by the Nazi's. After several years outside the textile industry, Fred started exporting any and all fabrics to Iceland and Europe. The business turned to predominately domestic nylon sales by the 1960's and Glaser Mills was born.
In 1975 Fred's son Roy Glaser joined Glaser Mills and took the business to new heights, expanding the customer base and adding dozens of new products still in use today.
Roy's son, Michael Glaser joined in 2003 and brought the company into the 21st century, automating the inventory management system and creating new products to service the digital print market.
