Libbey Owens Ford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Libbey Owens Ford Company (LOF) was a producer of automotive glass both for original equipment manufacturers and for replacement use, as well as specialty glass products used in domestic and high-rise buildings; also for aircraft, tanks and locomotives. The company's headquarters and main factories were located in Toledo, Ohio. In April 1986, LOF was acquired by the Pilkington Group, a multinational glass manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom.

In 1928, LOF was the first company to produce automotive laminated safety glass.
