Ardagh Glass Packaging (AGP) North America is commemorating 50 years of partnership in supplying glass packaging to Mt. Olive Pickle Company.

The 50-year partnership connects the glass container supplier to the US food industry with the number one pickle brand in America, as determined by IRI sales data.

AGP manufactures glass jars in a range of sizes from an 8 oz jar to a one-gallon jug to provide for Mt. Olive’s variety of products.

The collaboration began when Mt. Olive purchased glass jars from AGP North America’s Henderson glass manufacturing facility in North California, US.

The plant is a mere 100 miles away from the company’s headquarters at the Corner of Cucumber and Vine in Mount Olive, US. This allows Mt. Olive to keep its promise to source local products and incorporate sustainable practices into its operations.

Darrell Wineman, Vice President of Food, Wine & Spirits for AGP – North America, said: “Ardagh Glass Packaging cherishes its 50-year supply partnership to manufacture glass packaging that showcases and protects the flavour, freshness and integrity of Mt. Olive Pickle Company’s products. We look forward to the next 50 years of partnership.”

From a modest beginning in 1926, Mt. Olive’s brand has grown throughout the years. AGP’s glass manufacturing facilities, strategically located throughout the US, have provided the essential service and support necessary to meet the company’s demand for American-made glass containers.

Throughout 2022, Ardagh Glass Packaging will celebrate the United Nations International Year of Glass (IYOG), commemorating the essential role of glass packaging in a sustainable society.
