Glander (the elder) founder, who came from Germany in the 1920s.
Erhard was a
trained metalworker, completing is apprenticeship in Germany, and originator
of Glander Ornamental Iron Works located in Saukville, Wisconsin, a firm
producing high quality work. He came to the USA from Germany in the early
20`s, forming his company in 1932, specializing in copper, iron and brass
artworks. His first shop was in the Milwaukee area (West Allis) before he
relocated to Saukville, north of Milwaukee. His son, Erhard the younger,
worked side by side with him and took over the firm which continues today
under the ownership of Erhard the second’s children, Michael, Paul, and
Lisa. In the 70’s the business changed its production to large scale
industrial metal work. (Thanks to 'Saganguy')
