The Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) is a trade association for the U.S. glass container industry. Headquarted in Washington, DC, GPI lobbies on behalf of its members, while providing them with technical, promotional and public relations support. Although primarily a United States organization, GPI does count members in Mexico and Canada.
Organization
GPI's Board of Trustees is the core decision-making body in the organization. It is made up of representatives from each of the glass container manufacturing member companies, as well as two representatives from the associate member companies (supplier member companies). The Trustees meet semi-annually for budget, agenda and future planning purposes.
The Glass Packaging Institute recently elected L. Richard Crawford, President of Global Glass Operations, O-I, as the glass container association’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees for a one-year term. Joseph Cattaneo serves as the trade association's President.
The Board is supplemented with a series of committees, including a Marketing Task Force Committee, Government Affairs Committee, Membership Committee and Drawing and Specifications Committee.
Other activities include the annual presentation of a "Clear Choice" award, given for creative glass packaging.
