The Glassmakers, Revisited: A History of Owens-Illinois, Inc.
Its corporate name is hardly a household word,
yet Owens-Illinois, Inc., located near a small
town in northwestern Ohio, is the world's largest
manufacturer of glass bottles and jars used to
provide food, beverages and medicines each day for millions of people around the world.
Although the glass containers it produces are among the most modern of packages, the
Company is one of America's oldest business
enterprises, able to trace its ancestry back to
1818 and the founding of the New England Glass
Company in East Cambridge, Massachusetts,
by Deming Jarves, the nation's most famous
glassmaker.
The venerable Ohio glass company owes
its existence today to the innovative genius
of Michael J. Owens, the inventor of a
revolutionary machine to blow bottles
automatically, and the business acumen of his boss, Edward D. Libbey. Their story, and that
of the nine other men who perpetuated the
industrial giant Owens and Libbey established,
is told here by a historian and businessman who has been a student of the glass industry for
nearly six decades.
