In 2017, we purchased the formulas and glass making equipment from both Spectrum and Uroboros and began incorporating those operations into our existing world class art glass tile manufacturing facility in Tijuana, MX. So, with fearless creativity and a hunger to keep art glass alive Oceanside Glass & Tile made a phone call that would change the history of art glass forever. Renown manufacturers Spectrum Glass Company and Uroboros Glass Studios announced their closures resulting in devastation to the art glass community (including Oceanside Glass & Tile® who utilized their glass in many product lines). In 2016, the world of art glass appeared to be on the verge of collapse. We remained true to our vision of tile, art, and glass despite pressure from all sides. The lessons of change and agility were not lost on us as the economy stood still during the radical 2008 recession that disrupted so many lives and businesses. We became more focused on community philanthropy, sustainability - and our favorite tacos.' - Sean Gildea Collection Reign Tile Collection Tessera Tile Collection Zoetic Tile Collection.

After 12 plus years of intense work creating a solid product category in our industry, we embraced the opportunity to dominate the high-end glass market and, again, built a larger factory across the border in Baja California. In 2001 with a continued commitment to innovate, the company bought a much larger building in Carlsbad, CA and outfitted a new manufacturing facility with state of the art equipment.Īs the market matured and Oceanside wasn’t the only surfer attempting to ride these powerful waves, we faced some important long-term decisions. The housing economy boom, product desirability, and design trends all lined up to produce a perfect storm that propelled the team from a small shop to a more sophisticated enterprise.

With homegrown equipment and a salvaged conveyor oven (lehr), the founders could feel the swell picking up. The old barrio WWII era buildings were perfect for a glass production line. In Oceanside, we expanded to a funky factory down Coast Highway in Carlsbad. Quickly outgrowing the original shop on Cleveland Street.

This plentiful raw material was and still is our primary glass ingredient' - Boyce Lundstrum 'Long before the words “green building” were commonly used, Oceanside was up-cycling beer bottles into high-end tiles destined for beautiful homes.
