The history of Bortner Bros., Inc. stretches back to 1925 when John H. Bortner of York, established a plumbing and heating business. Twenty years later his three sons joined him in the business.
In 1951, Glenn and one of his brothers established Bortner Bros. The company was incorporated in 1965. Three years later Glenn purchased his brother’s stock.
