Glass and yarns usually go together in a pub frequented by sailors, but AGY Holding Corp. (formerly Advanced Glassfiber Yarns) brings them together in a business. The company produces glass yarns, thin filaments of glass twisted together to form yarn. Glass yarns are used in electronic products, telecommunications gear, automotive equipment, and other industrial applications. Among other products, the company offers a proprietary hard armor system that utilizes S-2 Glass rovings in composite panels built into in US military Humvees, and other armored vehicles. Private investment firm Kohlberg & Co., acquired AGY Holding in 2006.
