Description

Glass is one of the least potentially toxic waste products that we produce. The raw materials it is composed of are cheap and relatively available, although they do need to be quarried, which has environmental implications. Glass will not decompose in a landfill site, but it will not leach toxic chemicals. The chief issue with glass production, and the benefit of recycling it, is the energy needed to run and maintain the huge furnaces, and to a lesser degree, the energy of transporting the raw materials and the product.

To set your tables for success, never underestimate the role of metalware. How it looks. How it feels in the hand. The impression it makes on the experience of the meal. World ® Tableware is designed and manufactured for foodservice environments, delivering the style and service life you need.

Glassware is the cornerstone of Libbey's rich history and the core of our business, dating back to 1818. With over 1,000 items designed specifically for the foodservice operator, Libbey's extensive line ranges from tumblers to fine European stemware.

For over 86 years, Libbey's proven commitment to quality has been backed by our well-known guarantee, "a new glass if the rim of a Safedge glass chips." If the rim of any glass covered by the Safedge guarantee chips, Libbey will replace or refund the price of the glass when it is returned to the dealer/distributor from whom it was originally purchased. Of course, this guarantee does not cover breakage.

Libbey For almost two centuries, Libbey has been known as the leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality glass tableware, especially in the North American market. With the acquisitions of Royal Leerdam in the Netherlands, Crisal in Portugal, the remaining 51% of Crisa in Mexico, and its building of a new factory in China, Libbey is nowadays the second largest glass tableware producer in the world (by management estimates). This expanded manufacturing footprint positions Libbey well to service the tabletop needs of customers like you and others around the world.
