Company Background / History

Glassmaking - the largest part of Owens-Illinois business around the world today - was America´s first industry. The company´s oldest corporate ancestor was a glass plant founded in 1779 at Glassboro, New Jersey, by the seven Stanger brothers. The Stanger business was bought in 1830 by the Whitney brothers, and the Whitney Glass Works became one of the nation´s leading glass container makers. Just after the turn of the present century, Michael J. Owens invented the first automatic bottlemaking machine, the most significant development in glass making since invention of the blowpipe more than 2,000 years ago.

The Owens machine, which led to formation of the Owens Bottle Company, literally revolutionized the glass industry. Whitney Glass became part of Owens Bottle in 1918. Another branch of the O-I family tree was the Illinois Glass Company, which was started at Alton in 1873. Owens Bottle and Illinois Glass were merged to form Owens-Illinois in 1929. In 1965, the corporate name was changed from Owens-Illinois Glass Co. to Owens-Illinois, Inc., to reflect the broader scope of operations. Owens-Illinois broadened its glass and plastic packaging businesses in 1988 through the acquisition of Brockway, Inc. In recent years, Owens-Illinois has significantly increased its worldwide operations, both through internal growth as well as acquisitions.

Today, Owens-Illinois is one of the world´s largest and most diversified manufacturers of glass and plastic packaging products. O-I is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in the United States, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and China and one of the largest in Europe. The company supplies glass bottles and jars to the food, beer, beverage, drug and chemical, and wine and liquor industries. O-I also is a worldwide manufacturer of plastics packaging tems for personal care, household, health care, food, and beverage products, with operations in North America, South America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. These plastics packaging items include containers, closures, and prescription containers.

As the world´s leading glass-packaging maker, we create beautiful, recyclable glass containers for many of the best-loved brands. Here´s a snapshot of the global influence of our company.
