History

Bullseye Glass Company was founded in 1974 by Dan Schwoerer, Boyce Lundstrom, and Ray Ahlgren.[1]

In early 2016, high levels of the toxic heavy metals cadmium, arsenic and chromium were discovered in the vicinity of the company's plant in East Portland. After production with some of the heavy metals was voluntarily halted by Bullseye and others, their production of several colors of art glass was restricted.

In fall of 2016, Bullseye completed installation of a baghouse emission control system that successfully reduced all emissions to levels required by state and federal regulations.
