The General Manager - |
|
Rodolfo C. Salcedo is a Chemical Engineer who hails from Rosario, Batangas. He has earned the degree of BS Chemical Engineer in Mapua Institute Technology. Since 1985, Rudy has been the General Manager of the company. In 1977, Rudy facilitated the set-up of a small basement workshop, where Angeli Glass all started. Crude tools, such as an improvised blow torched, together with simple tools from scrap irons were conceptualized to form the first blown glass bubblet. |

The Design Manager - |
|
“I want to place the Philppines in the ‘GLASS MAP’ of the world”…the vision of Angelita P. Salcedo…a native from Majayjay, Laguna. What started out a therapeutic hobby from a small basement has branched out in the market as Angeli Glass Products Specialties or APS. Though a degree holder in BS Education from the University of the East, her unleashed passion for arts and design had been clearly modeled through her glassworks. At present, there are over a thousand design. No two pieces are exactly alike and each piece has its own story to tell. |

During the Roman Empire, man learned to blow glass by gathering a gob of molten glass on one end of a hollow metal pipe , or blowpipe, and blowing through the other end.

Philippine handicrafts are often associated w/ indigenous materials such as rattan, shells, and coconut. In APS, we have the traditional product line but the designs, materials and craftsmanship are not.

In 1981, APS began using Borosilicate Glass. These are imported materials from Corning U.S.A and also known as Pyrex Glass. The use of high quality materials led to a more diversified product lines and intricate designs. |
|
|
To accent the beauty of art glass, wooden base enclosures, mirrors, flat glass, metal plates and imported glass paints are used. |
