Crystal PA Adds New Glass Line
Continuing the expansion of capabilities at its Northeast Pennsylvania production
center, Crystal Window & Door Systems recently added a new state-of-the-art
insulated glass unit (IGU) fabrication line at its Benton Township factory. With an
investment of several million dollars, the new equipment has greatly increased
capabilities and overall window production capacity for the manufacturer.
Installation of all the glass line components was accomplished using equipment
supplier and in-house technicians. Crystal Pennsylvania has hired 9 additional
employees for the new glass line and related operations.
Crystal is planning additional equipment acquisition for the Pennsylvania factory for
2018, including vinyl window assembly machinery enabling most of Crystal’s vinyl
windows and doors to be made in Pennsylvania as well as New York.

Quandel Donates for Springboard Healthy Scranton
Noble C. “Bud” Quandel, the fourth-generation leader of the namesake construction and
railroad company founded in Pennsylvania, is donating $100,000 to Springboard Healthy
Scranton, the first-of-its-kind program designed to improve an entire community’s health.
Springboard Healthy Scranton will place the community’s focus on preventive care,
behavioral health and economic growth. It will seek bold goals, such as coordinating
community resources to eliminate hunger and preventable chronic diseases and change
how healthcare is delivered through the power of genomic medicine.
“I believe in Springboard Healthy Scranton’s goal and vision,” said Mr. Quandel, chief
executive of Quandel Enterprises, Inc. “This will have long-term benefits for Northeastern
Pennsylvania, where Quandel began in 1882. We hope Springboard’s success locally will be
repeated in communities across the country.”
Once developed, tested and implemented, projects will be optimized to create the most
cost-effective and sustainable solutions to issues affecting a community’s health. Once
proven, they will be shared both nationally and globally.
Springboard Healthy was founded in 2016 as a breakthrough approach to solving critical
national and global health challenges. The intent is to engage and empower an entire city
to achieve health transformation by fostering an environment of access, possibility, and
collaboration, and to build a repeatable model for community-wide success.
