Owens-Illinois, Inc., announced that it will close its glass container manufacturing facility in Milton, Ontario, next week.
The 300,000 square foot glass container facility contains three machines and one furnace that manufactures beer bottles.
The decision to close the facility is part of a capacity utilization review announced by the company. The review includes efforts to bring capacity and inventory levels in line with anticipated demand.
After the closing of this facility, Owens-Illinois will have 23 glass container manufacturing plants in North America, 18 of which are in the U.S.
The Milton plant was one of six glass container plants acquired by Owens-Illinois from Consumers Packaging Inc. in 2001.
