Late 1980's - Late 1990's

Late 1980’s
By the end of the decade another new section of the industry was forming. Acid Waste Drainage became an issue due to hazardous materials that were used in laboratories, chemical plants, and science departments at schools, burning holes in the common PVC and metal piping. It was discovered that glass’s high chemical resistance made it the perfect material for acid waste drainage. With this new type of product in high demand, Pegasus developed a process to assemble the couplings needed for these pipes. This new process was far more efficient than any previous method, ensuring that Pegasus was producing these couplings faster than Corning, their supplier. This much faster turnaround time increased Pegasus’ Canadian purchase quantities and caught the attention of the glass industry.
Early 1990’s
A recession hit North America, slowing down the development of new structures such as schools and hospitals. With a decline in their construction it created a loss in the need of the glass industry.
Late 1990’s
Due to the recession, Pegasus exited the acid waste drainage business
1995
Pegasus commenced dealings with Kavalier Glassworks in the Czech Republic
1999/2000
Pegasus started to grow considerably since the products they were producing became better quality. The company went from primarily a Canadian supplier of tubing and rod to a North American wholesaler.
