History

NavCour began in 2004 as the vision of Doug Navalinsky — a neon tube bender and scientific glass blower -- and Eli Coury, a pharmaceutical products distributor. Prior to forming NavCour Glassware in Bay Village, Ohio, Navalinsky expanded and enhanced his glass making skills in positions with Aldrich Chemical Co., and Lab Glass in Kingsport, Tenn. He holds an Associate's degree in Scientific Glass Blowing from Salem Community College, in Carney's Point, New Jersey.

Today

NavCour annually serves more than 150 clients worldwide from its expanded production facility located in Lorain, Ohio. Our product line includes beakers, bottles, burets, condensers, cylinders, dishes, distillation apparatus, flasks, funnels, hydrometers, pipets, specimen containers, tubes/tubing, and vials. Our newly expanded production facilities are equipped with modern glass making equipment that ensures we meet precise laboratory glassware specifications. This includes micro-glassware, along with the ability to form products using borosilicate, soft glass, and quartz. Repairing and replacing custom-made scientific glass products have become our specialties.
