The Brockway Glass Company Inc. was founded in 1907 in by the Brockway Machine Bottle Company (which later became Brockway Glass). Brockway manufactured and sold glass containers and tubing, along with plastic products manufactured through wholly owned subsidiaries. In 1964 Brockway bought several Hazel-Atlas Glass Company factories from the [[Continental Can Company]] as part of a lawsuit settlement. In 1987 [[Owens-Illinois]] made a bid of $60 per share (worth $750million) to acquire Brockway, which was met with resistance by the FTC. After a federal district judge denied the FTC's request for an injunction, Owens-Illinois acquired Brockway's shares.

An armed standoff took place just outside of Brockway on September 26, 2013, when two [[Pennsylvania State Police]] troopers were shot at while serving a warrant at the suspect's home.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wjactv.com/news/features/features/stories/updated-trooper-critical-condition-after-jefferson-county-shooting-652.shtml |title=UPDATED: Trooper in critical condition after Jefferson County shooting - WJAC WJACTV.com - Featured |access-date=2013-09-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002202325/http://www.wjactv.com/news/features/features/stories/updated-trooper-critical-condition-after-jefferson-county-shooting-652.shtml |archive-date=2013-10-02 }}</ref> Residents and students in Brockway were ordered to [[shelter-in-place]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/trooper-shot-in-brockway-jefferson-county/d/story/5p4ToWvb3kKx-h3CmTtqdw |title=Trooper Shot in Brockway, Jefferson County - WeAreCentralPA.com - your one stop community web portal for all your Central Pennsylvania News, Sports and Weather, powered by WTAJ Your News Leader |access-date=2013-09-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929050046/http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/trooper-shot-in-brockway-jefferson-county/d/story/5p4ToWvb3kKx-h3CmTtqdw |archive-date=2013-09-29 }}</ref> The suspect was 60-year-old Kenneth Lees, who was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound when police entered the building.<ref name="wearecentralpa.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/police-release-details-in-trooper-shooting-standoff/d/story/yhvM6NeDPkqsDmI0FMGP1g |title=Police Release Details in Trooper Shooting, Standoff - WeAreCentralPA.com - your one stop community web portal for all your Central Pennsylvania News, Sports and Weather, powered by WTAJ Your News Leader |access-date=2013-09-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109044154/http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/police-release-details-in-trooper-shooting-standoff/d/story/yhvM6NeDPkqsDmI0FMGP1g |archive-date=2013-11-09 }}</ref>
