Founded in 1946 as Ed Glassman Plumbing & Heating, owner Ed Glassman built the fledgling business into one of the area’s busi ... est contracting firms. After working for Ed since 1946, Joseph’s father, Adolph, and his partner, Charles Staab, purchased the business in 1972 and renamed it Glassman/Staab Inc. Following in his father’s footsteps, Joe Glassman opened Glassman Climate Control in Russell, Kansas in 1980. In 1985 he purchased his father’s business, merged it into Glassman Climate Control, and moved the company from Russell to Hays. With the expanding scope of Glassman’s building and mechanical services, the name was changed to Glassman Corporation in 1991. In 2011, the company moved into a new 31,000 square-foot campus housing an administration building and a large production/inventory control facility. Today, Glassman Corporation is a multi-million dollar company employing plumbers, mechanical technicians, estimators, sales engineers, sheet metal fabricators and administrative personnel.
