John Steinert

John Steinert began a machinist apprenticeship shortly after high school and soon

found himself working for the Franklin Machine Company in Kent, Ohio. His

foray into glass tools began when his neighbor, Henry Halem, approached him

around 1976 about making tools for Kent State University. He officially founded in 1979, Steinert Industries and began making pipes, punties, hand tools, and machines for the studio glass artist.
