Libbey
Hailing originally from East Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of the New England Glass Company, which was founded in 1818. In 1888, Edward Drummond Libbey, son of the first corporate owner, William, moved the company to Toledo, Ohio.
With abundant natural gas resources, access to high-quality sand and a network of railroad and steamship lines, Northwest Ohio was an ideal location. In 1892, the name was changed to The Libbey Glass Company. Libbey and Toledo were (and still are) a match made in heaven and thus The Glass City was born.
“For Makers, By Makers” isn’t just a tagline, it’s how they approach their business. While their legacy dates back to the Industrial Revolution, they are always looking ahead with an entrepreneurial spirit, a focus on sustainability and an ever-growing breadth of product.

Owens Corning
Our story is not simply a history of insulation or building supplies, or even the dates of inventions and buildings — It’s an intricate tale of innovation and growth spurred by reinvention, curiosity and strong partnerships built over decades. Our roots reach back to an 1800s lab experiment that, through an unexpected twist, produced mineral wool insulation. This set off a wave of innovation for what would in time become the insulation industry we lead today. Over the decades that followed, we experimented with glass, partnering with organizations along the way to develop new applications and production methods for our innovative products.
