Pyrex: Pioneering Excellence in Glassware Since 1915
Pyrex has been at the forefront of innovation in glassware since its inception in 1915. Born out of a quest for durability and functionality, Pyrex revolutionized the kitchen with its borosilicate glass formula, resistant to thermal shock, discovered by German scientist Otto Schott. This breakthrough led to the creation of Pyrex, with chemist W.C. Taylor refining the recipe to produce an even sturdier glass known as Nonex. The brand's journey began when Bessie Littleton, wife of physicist Jessie Littleton, tested the bases of Nonex laboratory vats for baking, leading to the birth of Pyrex.
Throughout its history, Pyrex has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of consumers. From entering the world of health with a range of hygienic glassware to revolutionizing baby care with the introduction of reliable and safe baby bottles, Pyrex has remained a trusted companion in households worldwide. The brand's commitment to innovation was further exemplified with the launch of its freezer-cooking boxes in 1985, catering to the growing trend of microwave ovens and freezers. In the 21st century, Pyrex expanded its offerings beyond fire glass, introducing variations in metal, ceramic, and stainless steel, showcasing its versatility and adaptability to modern cooking needs. With a legacy spanning over a century, Pyrex continues to redefine excellence in glassware, enriching kitchens with durable, functional, and innovative products.
