Established in 1818 as the New England Glass Company in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, Libbey has evolved into one of the world's largest glass tableware manufacturers. In 1888, under the leadership of Edward Drummond Libbey, the company relocated to Toledo, Ohio, capitalizing on the region's rich natural resources and transportation networks. This move earned Toledo the nickname "The Glass City." Renamed The Libbey Glass Company in 1892, it pioneered numerous industry firsts, including the automatic production of lightbulbs and machine-blown glass. Today, Libbey offers a comprehensive range of glassware, serving both household and industrial markets, and continues to set industry standards with its commitment to quality and innovation.
