Founded in 1998,
the Techniglass Corporation of Amherst, New York specializes
in developing innovative, patented products for the art glass
industry. Though glass making is an ancient art, the tools to
make magnificent art need not be. Michael Hacikyan, the inventor,
an engineer by profession and an artisan by choice, designs
grinder accessories keeping the following principles in mind:
Simplicity:
The accessory must be easy and comfortable to use.
Afforable:
All accessories need to be manufactured and retailed at a
price point which hobbyists and professionals find affordable.
Safety:
The accessory must be safe to handle and prevent even the
most minor accidents from occuring.
Tool-less:
No hand tools should be required for installation.
Efficient:
The accessory should produce the desired result with a minimum
of effort, expense or waste.
Universal:
Accessories are designed, in as much as possible, as generic
or univeral to fit most every grinder model.
Pleasure:
The accessory should enhance the art glass making experience.
Quality and innovation
are a given at Techniglass. All products are rigorously tested
before launch and further quality control tested when in production.
These simple,
yet important product features are fundamental to the success
of Techniglass. Techniglass is, and will continue to be, advancing
art glass technology tomorrow and in the future.
