The Anchor Glass Container manufacturing facility in Henryetta, which has been operating for almost 100 years and is home to one of the largest glass melting furnaces in the world, recently hosted a visit from state and local leaders.
Last Friday, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce team, accompanied by Senator Bryan Logan and OADC Executive Director Deb Marshall, enjoyed a plant update and comprehensive tour of the facility.
Anchor Glass in Henryetta is recognized as a vital, long-standing local employer and is Okmulgee County’s largest private industrial employer, providing over 300 jobs. The company is noted for its deep roots in the region, supporting families and the local economy through entry-level and skilled manufacturing positions.
The facility’s story will soon be shared with a wider audience, as the OADC is scheduled to film the next episode of “Manufacturing Matters” at Anchor in a few weeks. The segment will offer an opportunity to share the plant’s history and provide a behindthe- scenes look at the operation.
