About Orning Glass:
Ed Orning was an architecture student at Iowa State University. In 1928 he purchased a company that made horse harnesses and building awnings. Seeing a decline in the need for horse harnesses, he changed the name to Orning Glass and Awnings in 1931. Sometime in the early 1960s, "an awnings" was dropped from our name and we have been Orning Glass Company ever since.
Our current owner, John Scheppler, purchased Orning Glass in 1997. His father-in-law, Bill Allen, had attended grade school with one of Orning's previous owners, Junior Thrasher. Junior and co-owner Malcolm Locke were approaching retirement age and Bill set up a meeting between the owners and John. John had his MBA and consulting experience but glass was a new industry for him. He learned alongside Malcom and Junior for a number of years to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. John has since grown Orning Glass and continues to look forward to future opportunities of growth.
