Saving the Amish Harvest Transformed Home Canning

Superb and Arglass Announce Strategic Partnership

SUGARCREEK, Ohio, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the beginning of a new era in home canning as Arglass, a trailblazer in innovative glass manufacturing, partners with Superb Sealing, the renowned creator of high-quality canning lids and bands. The two American companies are launching a premium, 100% U.S.-made line of home canning products designed to set unprecedented standards for quality, reliability, and traceability.

A Vision Born Out of Necessity

The inspiration for this groundbreaking partnership originated during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, when severe supply chain disruptions left Amish farmers in Ohio at risk of losing their harvests. In response, local food businesses sought assistance from John Miller, President of SUPERB Industries. Drawing on Superb Sealing's extensive expertise in precision engineering—from automotive to electronics—Miller rallied a dedicated team to create a much-needed solution.

"It quickly became evident that home canning products had remained stagnant for over 50 years," Miller remarked. After collaborating with more than 400 Amish canners and conducting rigorous testing, his team delivered five million superior canning lids just in time for the 2021 harvest.

Discovering the Ideal Glass Jar

The quest for a high-quality, American-made jar led Superb Sealing to Arglass. "When we evaluated jars from various U.S. manufacturers, only one met our uncompromising standards," Miller explained. Arglass—a family-owned company committed to excellence—emerged as the perfect partner to complement Superb Sealing's innovations.

"Our mission is to produce the highest quality glass containers while continuously pushing the boundaries of manufacturing innovation," stated José de Diego Arozamena, CEO of Arglass. "Partnering with Superb Sealing enables us to deliver a fully American-made canning solution that home canners can trust."

Introducing the Superb Arglass Canning Line

The new Superb Arglass line offers a complete home canning solution that combines Superb Sealing's patented lids and bands with Arglass's premium glass jars. A standout feature is Arglass's proprietary **Bottle DNA™** system—a state-of-the-art traceability technology that tracks every individual jar throughout the supply chain. This innovation guarantees consistent quality, enhances transparency, and even allows consumers to trace the journey of their products post-distribution.

"By joining forces, we're providing home canners with the most reliable, high-performing products on the market," Miller said. "Our commitment is to support the home canning community with solutions that preserve freshness and ensure long-term food safety."

Product Availability

The Superb Arglass home canning line will debut in May 2025, available through select retailers and online platforms. The home canning line will also be showcased at the Food Independence Summit in Walnut Creek, Ohio on June 18th and 19th, 2025.
