Bullseye Glass Company was founded in 1974 by Dan Schwoerer, Boyce Lundstrom, and Ray Ahlgren.[5]
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.[6] 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.[4]
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.[7] In 2019 Bullseye settled a class action lawsuit for $6.5M paid to over 2000 households surrounding their facility [8]
