History:
Originally the New England Glass Company, from East Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Libbey Glass Company was purchased by William L. Libbey in 1878 and moved to Toledo, Ohio in 1888 and was renamed in 1892. Toledo was appealing because of the available gas resources and access to quality sand. Add that to the railroad systems and port, it is no wonder Toledo has been home to Libbey Glass for well over 100 years.After World War II, Libbey moved from the intense and skilled process of making handmade cut glass to focusing on automated, high volume production. In 1935, Libbey Glass became part of Owens-Illinois and began focusing on expanding and perfecting the glass making process. The efforts made by the company have paid off through the years making Libbey Glass the world’s second largest glassmaker of both commercial and home glass products.
