Who We Are
The Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) serves as the voice for the glass container industry in Washington, D.C., and across the country. GPI serves its member companies through legislative, public relations, promotional and technical activities.
GPI member companies bring a diverse array of products to consumers. Companies produce glass containers for food, beer, soft drinks, wine, liquor, cosmetics, toiletries, medicine and more. In addition to serving domestic companies that manufacture glass containers, GPI also represents Canadian and Mexican glass container companies and numerous suppliers.
The GPI Board of Trustees is the trade association’s key decision making body. The Board consists of one representative from each member company, and one representative from the associate members, the closure manufacturers and from foreign member companies. At semi-annual Trustee meetings, the Board develops an agenda for GPI activities, approves budgets and sets the association’s course for the future. In addition to the Board, there are several committees and task forces that are involved in the issues that affect the industry.
