Eighteen months ago, Marciano oversaw a staff buyout of the company, which had been placed in receivership for the fourth time in 20 years. Today, 180 of the 243 employees are “associates” in the company.

Duralex makes great glassware. They have a really strong temper; but that comes with the caveat that, if they do break, they're going to explode in a thousand pieces.

I've heard some reports that their ongoing turmoil was screwing up the product quality; hopefully the employees can rescue the reputation.
