O-I Glass — Packaging with Emotions
Glass is enchanting and versatile. So when we collaborate with our customers, astounding things emerge. We’re passionate about sharing our love for glass to build brands through enticing and iconic packaging.
Driven by Transformation
“It can be done” was the personal motto of our founder, Michael J Owens. More than a century later, we’re carrying on his legacy as we leverage creativity and technology to bring forth leading innovations, transforming the glassmaking industry.
Our history
Our founder, Michael J. Owens, invented the automatic bottle-making machine, which became the foundation for today's glassmaking industry. Our rich history of innovation, unparalleled expertise and global reach make O-I the world's leader in glass packaging.
Committed to Sustainability
Now more than ever, consumers are demanding safe and healthy packaging. We’re focused on advancing our sustainability agenda by reducing energy emissions, increasing recycled content in our containers, and investing in the communities we serve.
Feeding the Fires of Innovation
Michael Owens changed the way glass has been produced over the last 5,000 years with his miracle machine. Since then, the company has been continually transforming itself, transforming its environment. From licensing machines to producing bottles, from manual to automated inspection technologies – O-I automated every production process, bringing the sustainable power of glass into everyday use.
That same spirit of innovation in glassmaking lives on today, as our more than 25,000 employees work with our customers and partners to define the future of glass. With more than 1,800 active patents on our proprietary technology, we remain dedicated to the qualities that endeared Mr. Owens to glass in the first place: it’s beauty, versatility, and endless sustainability.
