Description: Owens-Illinois Inc. was founded in 1903 by Michael J. Owens under the name Owens Bottle-Machine Company, later merging in 1929 with Illinois Glass Company to form Owens-Illinois Glass Company. In 1965, the company changed its name to Owens-Illinois Inc. to reflect a broader scope of operations that included the manufacture of plastics packaging. Owens-Illinois is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in the world, producing glass containers for beer, ready-to-drink low alcohol refreshers, spirits, wine, food, tea, juice and pharmaceuticals. The company also produces glass containers for soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages, principally outside the U.S. These products are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors and Owens-Illinois is active in new product development and glass container innovation. The company divides its operations into four main geographical segments--North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. The segments align with the company's internal approach to managing, reporting and evaluating performance of its global glass operations.
