The sound of breaking glass is music to Libbey's ears. It signals potential sales for the company, which is a leading maker and seller of glassware, tableware, and flatware to the foodservice industry and to retailers (Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Wal-Mart) in the US and Canada. Libbey's products are made in five countries, including the US, Mexico, and China, and are sold in more than 100 others. Its brands include Libbey, Crisa, and Royal Leerdam, among others. Subsidiary World Tableware imports metal flatware, serveware, and ceramic dinnerware for resale. Libbey owns Crisa, the largest Mexican glass tableware maker. Libbey's roots reach back to 1888, when The W.L. Libbey & Son Company was founded.
