Is Pyrex still made, and who makes it now?
Yes, in Lancaster, Ohio, by a company that was a competitor until 2024. Why the catalogue you meet online still feels discontinued, in one measured number.
Yes. Pyrex kitchenware is still made, in the United States, by Anchor Hocking at Lancaster, Ohio. Anchor Hocking received Corelle Brands in 2024 and closed the 132-year-old Charleroi, Pennsylvania plant permanently in April 2025, moving production to Ohio.
Who makes it, and where
Pyrex kitchenware in the United States is made by Anchor Hocking, at Lancaster, Ohio. That is a recent arrangement. Centre Lane Partners transferred Corelle Brands, which holds the US Pyrex kitchenware line, to Anchor Hocking in 2024. In September 2024 Anchor Hocking announced that the Charleroi, Pennsylvania plant — in operation for 132 years — would close and production would move to Ohio; the plant closed permanently in April 2025.
Separately, the uppercase PYREX laboratory line is a different product with a different history, and the two are frequently conflated in listings and in articles.
How much of the catalogue is actually new
The citable number: of 490 live US Pyrex kitchen listings pulled on 2 September 2026, only 16 named a current production line — Prepware, Smart Essentials, Easy Grab, Deeper or Littles. The other 474 are discontinued pieces, pattern replacements and unnamed generic listings.
| Slice of the catalogue | Listings | Median | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Pyrex kitchen listings | 490 | $49.99 | $0.99 – $499.95 |
| Naming a current production line | 16 | $20.48 | $10.00 – $52.71 |
| From one replacement-china specialist | 444 | — | — |
Method: CJ product API, US advertisers, five Pyrex keyword pulls de-duplicated by link and title, with laboratory glass and Pyrex-branded apparel removed, pulled 2 September 2026.
Re-read on 30 September 2026 from a single Pyrex keyword pull rather than five: 670 kitchen listings, 512 of them (76%) from the same replacement specialist, at a median of $39.99; 27 named a current production line, at a median of $17.20. One pull does not reproduce the five this table was built from, so the table stands as the 2 September snapshot. The shape is the same on both dates: new pieces are a small minority of what a search returns.
Last verified 30 September 2026 against a live US Pyrex keyword pull of 670 kitchen listings (the note above and the farm-retailer price below); the table is the 2 September 2026 snapshot, and the ownership and plant history were read on 2 September 2026
So the honest answer to “is Pyrex still made” has two halves. The brand is in production. The catalogue a shopper meets online is overwhelmingly secondhand, which is why it feels discontinued.

What this means if you are buying
- New pieces are cheap and easy to find once you search by line name rather than by the brand alone. The current-line median was $20.48 in our 2 September pull and $17.20 on 30 September.
- Searching “Pyrex” alone returns a secondhand market in which nine listings in ten come from one replacement specialist.
- Do not read old as better. Both borosilicate and modern soda-lime glass fail under thermal shock; age does not change that.
- Laboratory PYREX is not vintage kitchenware, however old it looks. It appeared constantly in our 2 September 2026 searches, some of it under $10.
On 30 September 2026 Blain’s Farm & Fleet, a farm and home retailer rather than a housewares specialist, listed a new Pyrex measuring cup at $3.81 (list price $4.49).
