Libbey Glassware
How Libbey Changed Tabletop Glassware in America by Amin Ramjee
Libby Inc. has been involved in glass production for nearly 200 years and has gone under several different names, been located in several locations and continuously evolved its glassmaking process. At the beginning of the 19th century William L. Libbey founded the New England Glassworks Company later named William L. Libbey and Sons Props and finally changed to the Libbey Glass Company. The company was headquartered in Massachusetts but later moved to Ohio where glassmaking resources were more abundant. The Libbey Glass Company produced tabletop glassware items in a similar fashion with other glassmaking companies at the time, with a slow painstaking handmade method. It wasn't until after World War II that Libbey introduced the first machine made stemware that they changed the face of glassware production in America.
Libbey was able to produce automatic high volume glassware items for their wine glasses, drinking glasses, pitchers, serving glassware and more. This high level of production allowed them to branch out to become a nationwide company as well as provide glassware items, not just for businesses like hotels and restaurants but also the average person. Libbey has expanded from its headquarter factory in Toledo, Ohio to have branches in Louisiana, New York and Wisconsin.
Libbey's modern-day production has implemented "Lean Manufacturing", this is a process that reduces waste and increases time and quantity of production. They have also added features to their furnaces, partially developed by NASA, to increase the efficiency of their furnaces to reduce waste and increase production.
Libbey has also created a recycling initiative. In 2007 Libbey was able to recycle 360 million pounds of glass in their factories. They also extended their recycling project to include other materials being used like used oil, cardboard, steel, cast iron, office paper, wood pallets, computers and water. These additional products added up to 67 million additional pounds of recycled goods.
Libbey remains at the frontier of American innovation when it comes to glassware production. Their steps to increase production and decrease waste have made them both highly efficient and environmentally responsible. The focus on fiscal and social responsibility strikes a positive cord with the current positive corporate trends and makes Libbey Inc. a mix of tradition and contemporary production.
