Glass making company, Sydney, began in 1926 when several glass making companies amalgamated to form Crown Crystal Glass (owned by ACI).  The Balmain Glass works, The Crown Glass Company of Alexandria and the Crystal Glass works of Waterloo.  Their joint production facility was set up in Bourke Street, Waterloo. 

In 1972 Crown Crystal Glass merged with the Australian subsidiary of the Corning Glass Works of USA to form Crown Corning Limited. This lasted until 1988 when the company changed again.
