On Saturday, May 16, 2015, Pyrex® celebrated its 100 years in business in the community where it gets manufactured – Charleroi.

Pyrex3
The world's largest measuring cup!

Pyrex is a Corning Incorporated brand, introduced in 1915 as a clear, heat-tempered glass bakeware line. World Kitchen, a spin-off of Corning that came into existence in 1998, manufactures Pyrex in its Charleroi location and has been doing so for nearly 60 years of the 100 years the brand has been in existence.

On May 16, the community and the company came together to celebrate the brand's centennial anniversary with a festival. The festivities got off to a start with a pancake breakfast held in Charleroi's Market Square, followed by a pie-baking contest. A display case containing 100 years of Pyrex history was available for viewing, as was a piece of Pyrex history that double as a photo opportunity – the world's largest measuring cup! Commemorative measuring cups marked with the 100-year-anniversary logo were available to purchase, as were, of course, new and vintage Pyrex pieces.

The celebration was not just about the company and its success - it was also a way to acknowledge the people who make these pieces and take pride in the craftsmanship that goes into manufacturing them, making them a part of households across the nation.
