Long before glass bottles became an everyday convenience, they were at the center of one of America's most important manufacturing innovations. As America marks its 250th anniversary, we take a look at how the automated bottle-making machine, invented by our founder Michael J. Owens, left an indelible stamp on society over the last century. #GlassPackaging #Manufacturing

The changes that Micheal J Owen’s brought into the automated manufacturing space was a key enabler for the industry that we see today , advancements then in the NNPB process from the Germans inside Heye changed bottle manufacturing process . The powerhouse that O-I created in Toledo with the technical centre during the 80,s-2000,s revolutionised some of the technology advancements we also see today , some of the later tech with MCS ,ComSoc and PIC altered the fabric of the plants and their servo technology was second to none, some features then still not even rivalled by today’s machine builders . The first Quad Gob production machines evolved and many changes to what we see today. A shame the technology division elapsed to what it once was . Fundamentals of what we see today were formed around these technologies. Glassmaking globally is incredible and all manufacturers pushing on the latest building blocks that will ensure glass manufacture will remain a fundamental item for society .

Glass is Life O-I , the art make One Glass Bottle is Magic.. confiance and credibility in safety is greating.
