O-I is the world's leading manufacturer of glass containers, producing bottles and jars for the world's most recognised food and beverage brands. Founded in 1903, the company has spent over a century refining glassmaking and packaging design. Today it operates manufacturing facilities across four continents in nearly 20 countries, employing 24,000 people.
The company's core offering is sustainable glass packaging. Glass is infinitely recyclable and virtually inert, properties that appeal to brands seeking to differentiate their products whilst reducing environmental impact. O-I combines traditional glassmaking expertise with advanced production techniques and recycling technology to design and manufacture containers that protect contents and stand out on shelves.
Innovation and sustainability are central to O-I's operations. The company emphasises continuous improvement in manufacturing processes, worker safety, and diversity across its global workforce. Beyond manufacturing, O-I engages with communities through programmes such as Glass4Good, reflecting a commitment to broader environmental stewardship.
