INNOVATION<br />
O RLDWIDE<br />
Libbey innovates. Others imitate.<br />
Libbey Foodservice brands stand for<br />
almost two centuries of quality,<br />
consistency, and reliability.<br />
Innovation has been a cornerstone<br />
of Libbey’s image and history since<br />
its creation in 1818. Libbey revolutionized<br />
glassmaking — the world’s fi rst<br />
machine-made stemware was<br />
automatically produced on Libbey<br />
equipment. Today, Libbey continues<br />
to invest in new state-of-the-art<br />
production equipment, allowing it to<br />
create the foodservice industry’s most<br />
signifi cant glassware introductions.<br />
Libbey Foodservice sets the standard<br />
in the foodservice industry. Its customers<br />
have come to expect innovation as well<br />
as quality and consistency in its brands.<br />
It further reinforces its brand through its<br />
strong brand images.<br />
Syracuse China is able to produce its<br />
pioneering dinnerware designs faster and<br />
more effi ciently with investments such<br />
as the new fast-fi re kiln technology, and<br />
World Tableware is the leader in<br />
bringing the most distinctive fl atware<br />
designs to the foodservice industry.<br />
In December 2002, Libbey acquired<br />
Royal Leerdam, makers of fi ne European<br />
stemware, and Traex, a leading<br />
producer of warewashing racks, trays,<br />
and a host of other smallware products.<br />
In addition, Vitrocrisa, a joint venture<br />
partner, is the largest glass tableware<br />
manufacturer in Mexico. Libbey also<br />
holds a distribution agreement with<br />
Luigi Bormioli, a manufacturer of fi ne<br />
Italian glassware.<br />
Libbey Foodservice truly is igniting<br />
innovation worldwide.
