PRODUCTS INFO HOME A "PIONEER" IN PLASTIC History In the Plastics Industry, Corrado Giacona II is considered “The Graduate”. He is a pioneer in plastic drinkware designs and printing. During the 1960’s, his company manufactured tin cans and revolutionized the idea of direct high speed, dry, off-set printing on metal cans. In the 1970’s, he designed the Giacona line of souvenir plastic drinkware, printed with multiple screens and tones of blended colors. Mr. Giacona recognized plastics were the future and decided to seize the opportunity by transforming his business and changing focus. He has been able to maintain many of his older customers by designing “Signature Drinkware” for signature drinks. It's A Family Thing! Corrado Giacona II took over the business from his father, Louis Giacona. The company has been in continuous operation since 1923 when the focus was on packaging using: cans, glass jars and corrugated boxes. Continuing on the family tradition with Corrado Giacona II (President), is his son Louis Giacona II (Executive Vice President) and daughter Gina Giacona (Vice President of Sales). Patricia Giacona, the wife of Corrado Giacona II, serves as Secretary / Treasurer of the Corporation.
