Rankins Glass has recently been bought by iGlass. The original Rankins company dates back to 1740 and the company has glazed many Fleet Street newspaper offices, put the face on London's Big Ben and provided protective and low reflective panels for precious works of art. iGlass is owned by Gregg Botterman and Mark Woodward, who both have vast experience in the glass industry and the supply of products to the interiors markets. Paul Rankin, former owner, will continue in the role of Chairman following the sale. The sale to iGlass will mean expansion and diversification for Rankins, which will continue to supply and support the glass trade, the building sector, and will expand its business in the interiors market with the incorporation of the full range of existing and new iGlass products, such as handless glass-fronted kitchen cabinets, glass-fronted radiators, bespoke shower cladding, new designs in kitchen and bathroom splashbacks, designer glass worktops and handcrafted glass cabinet handles.
