Company history

In 1936, Nathan Rosenstone, along with William Blitzstein, Harold Fishbein, and Morris Allentuck founded Continental Glass Company which began operations with office space and a warehouse at 524 W. Erie Street in Chicago.

The core of the business was supplying glass bottles to the beverage industry from Glenshaw Glass to companies such as Pepsi Cola, 7-Up, Doctor Pepper, and a group of small beverage manufacturers.

At that time there were also a number of small rectifiers in Chicago. A major customer from this group was the Jim Beam Distillery Company. Another major customer at that time was The Real Lemon Co. These companies, along with the beverage manufacturers, represented the core of Continental’s business.

The following year the Company moved to 841 W. Cermak Road, and remained there until the company moved in 2005 to its present address at 230 W. Monroe Street.

Continental soon found footholds not only in the beverage and liquor industry, but in other areas such as health and beauty, including industry pioneer Helene Curtis.

Although many customers were based on personal relationship the company realized that “service” was an integral part of the business and value added services were able to attract new and larger customers such as Abbott Labs, Kraft Food, and Baxter Labs. One of the large customers that Nathan Rosenstone worked with was a vinegar Company in Michigan called Steffen Vinegar.

Continental’s influence continued to grow and it was awarded the exclusive distributorship of Owens Illinois products for its region which greatly expanded their product offerings.[2]

Current Corporate Structure

Today, Continental is a supplier of virtually all types of plastic and glass packaging, and has launched “Continental Design” and “Continental Innovation” as consultative-oriented packaging service brands.
