Dear Mr. Cash:

 

On behalf of Owens-Illinois, Inc. and Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (together, the “Company”), we are hereby advising the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that the Company has received the Staff’s letter dated June 8, 2015 (the “Staff Comment Letter”), regarding the Commission’s review of Owens-Illinois, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Staff Comment Letter requests that the Company respond within ten (10) business days or advise the Staff when the Company would provide a response. This correspondence confirms my telephone conversation with Lisa Etheredge on June 19, 2015 that the Company expects to respond to the Staff Comment Letter on or about July 10, 2015.
