Owens-Illinois was founded in 1903 as the Owens Bottle Machine Company, named after inventor Michael J. Owens, who created an automated bottle-making machine. The company, initially named the Owens Bottle Company, merged with the Illinois Glass Company in 1929 to become the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. Throughout the 20th century, it became a global leader in glass containers and expanded into other areas like plastics and paper, though it faced periods of diversification and restructuring.
