O-I

We produce glass bottles and jars for the food and beverage industry. Our products are used globally by brands for wine, beer, food, and water. We offer packaging design, manufacturing, and sustainable glass solutions.

O-I was founded in 1903 in Ohio by Michael J. Owens, who invented the automatic bottle-making machine. In 2022, we manufactured 41 billion glass containers. We operate 69 plants in 19 countries.

Our vision is to be the leading supplier of innovative and sustainable glass packaging. We aim to create distinctive and healthy glass products.

We believe glass is an ideal material for a low-waste, circular economy. Sustainability guides our manufacturing processes, how we work with customers, engage employees, and support communities.

Our values include caring for our people, valuing everyone, a love for learning, and innovation. We also take responsibility for our impact. Our founder’s motto, “It can be done,” inspires our commitment to innovation.

We have approximately 24,000 employees working in 69 plants across 19 countries.

We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and collaborative work environment where everyone can do their best. Our culture values passion, commitment, and innovation, and we support continuous learning and professional growth.

We support diversity and inclusion through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These groups provide chances for employees to share ideas, network, volunteer, and help with recruiting. We also work to build sustainable communities and recognize women in manufacturing, including through the “Women MAKE America” award.

We offer a variety of employee benefits:

• Vacation time and paid holidays
• Medical, dental, prescription, and vision care coverage
• Pre-tax accounts
• Life and AD&D insurance, and disability insurance
• 401(k) retirement savings plans with employer contributions
• Access to financial advisors for retirement planning and financial wellness
• An Employee Assistance Program
• A well-being program that includes opportunities to earn employer contributions

In some international locations, benefits may include private medical care (including dental), a multisport card, and a social fund (e.g., vacation and Christmas allowances).

Some roles and locations offer flexible working hours and hybrid work models. For example, some positions allow up to two days per week working from home, or two days on-site and three days remote in Envigado. Our Mexico office provides specific benefits like flexible working hours, free parking, bus service, a canteen, and discount gas station access.

We support professional development through undergraduate internships and specific programs in Finance, IT, Engineering, and Plant Management.
