Owens-Illinois is the leading supplier in almost all of the market segments it serves. Image:OwensIllinoisGlassPlantScoudoucCanada.jpg Owens-Illinois glass plant in Scoudouc, New Brunswick, Canada. It was constructed in an aircraft hangar, part of an abandoned World War II air base. Owens-Illinois is the latest in a long list of owners of the glass recycling plant. Company HeadquartersThe headquarters, until 2006, were located in Toledo, Ohio, known as the Glass City for its history of glass-related companies. The headquarters were moved in late 2006 to the Levis Commons complex in the suburb of Perrysburg, Ohio, where the company owns a large facility already. The causes of the move were two main factors. The company claimed that as a "modest glassmaking company" it was "embaressing" to have such a large headquarters. Secondly, the company wanted to sync their headquarters with the facility in Perrysburg. The former headquarters in Toledo, One SeaGate, is a local landmark. Moving out of downtown Toledo broke a promise by Owens-Illinois, where their former C.E.O. claimed that they would be "the last company to leave Toledo." The company claimed that they were not neccesarily hurting the area's economy, as they were moving a short distance southeast. The space left vacant by O-I will be replaced by Fifth Third Bank and will be renamed Fifth Third Center at One SeaGate. Fellow glassmaker Owens Corning still keeps its operations in downtown Toledo.
