The company was established by brothers Neal and Ron Trent.
Pegasus, name after a British air squadron in the second world war, originated as a process design and engineering company in high purity chemical solvents and acids.

Pegasus purchased the Canadian division of Corning Glassworks and carried on with all Corning and QVF's glassware's from the UK, Germany, and the U.S.

The glass industry began to grow, due to demand in the laboratory side of the process production plants. Up until now these plants were focused on chemical, acid, and solvent processing.
At this time Pegasus felt the push to process larger products, so they had a large bell-top oven made.
This oven is still the largest of its kind in the entire industry.

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.

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.  

Due to the recession, Pegasus exited the acid waste drainage business. 

In 1995 Pegasus commenced dealings with Kavalier Glassworks in the Czech Republic

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.

The company has now grown in the industry and has moved to a new facility in Cambridge. We have doubled in physical size and footprint, added more staff, and added more production equipment for cutting and processing.
