Bowling Green, KY, USA – O-I is proud to announce the progress of its groundbreaking project in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The first all-new MAGMA technology facility is taking shape, and we’ve reached a significant milestone in the construction process: the first steel columns for the hot end building have been raised.

On April 14, 2023, O-I Glass initiated this remarkable journey by breaking ground for a state-of-the-art greenfield glass plant in Bowling Green. This venture embodies our commitment to innovation and sustainability.
