Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing
NAICS 327212 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing glass by melting silica sand or cullet and making pressed, blown, or shaped glass or glassware (except glass packaging containers).
Start the review with industrial fire and explosion.
For Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing, the saved research highlights industrial fire and explosion, equipment breakdown, products liability. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What types of glass products are manufactured, and what are the primary downstream end uses or industries served?
- Are continuous or batch furnaces in use, and what is their age, condition, and last major maintenance cycle?
- What is the replacement value of the primary production equipment and furnaces?
- Are any products supplied into regulated or high-hazard applications such as medical, automotive, or aerospace?
- What environmental permits are in place, and are there any outstanding compliance issues related to emissions or waste?
- What is the prior loss history, particularly for equipment breakdown, fire, or product liability claims?
- For Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about glass components supplied into high-hazard downstream applications such as medical devices, aerospace, or automotive safety glazing?
- For Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior product liability losses tied to downstream failures or injuries?

Establishments in this class melt silica sand, cullet, and other raw materials in high-temperature furnaces to produce pressed, blown, or shaped glass products — ranging from decorative glassware and lighting components to scientific and technical glass items. Operations typically involve continuous or batch furnace melting, forming, annealing, and finishing, with significant heat, chemical, and mechanical hazards throughout the production process.
