Live Webcast Auction
BidItUp Auctions Worldwide is proud to present the sale of surplus assets from O-I’s bottling and glass manufacturing operations located at 5200 Beverly Dr., Waco, Texas.
This Live Webcast Auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire high-quality production, cold end, and plant support equipment from a globally recognized glass container manufacturer.

 What the O-I Plant Manufactured
The O-I facility at 5200 Beverly Dr, Waco, TX is (formerly operated as) a glass bottle manufacturing plant by Owens-Illinois, Inc. (O-I), one of the world’s largest glass container producers.
The facility historically produced glass packaging, bottles, and containers

  Featuring Large-Scale, Late Model Industrial Emissions Control Systems

The Waco Owens-Illinois (O-I) glass manufacturing facility incorporated advanced industrial emissions control technology as part of its air quality compliance strategy. Among these technologies are large-scale Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) — key components of the plant’s Emissions Processing Systems (EPS) infrastructure.

These RTO units were designed to manage and treat high-volume exhaust streams generated by glass furnace operations, effectively destroying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other regulated emissions before release to the atmosphere. Engineered for efficiency and environmental performance, the systems also incorporated thermal energy recovery to reduce operating fuel requirements while maintaining high destruction efficiency.

 More detailed technical specifications, operational history, and equipment documentation will be provided soon. This upcoming information will include system performance data, installation details, and compliance context relevant to these major industrial assets.

Also featuring over 1000 lots of MRO and spare parts brand new in box!
