Zeledyne produces last glass at plant

After 36 years of making glass for Ford Motor Co. and recently for commercial buildings, the plant's operator shut down its second furnace and ended its glass-making in Tulsa. The facility will instead focus on cutting and finishing products manufactured elsewhere.

Company spokeswoman Della DiPietro confirmed the shutdown Friday.

The layoffs come with Zeledyne's decision to exit glass-making for commercial buildings.
