A. H. Heisey, a German immigrant, founded the company in 1896 in Newark, Ohio after gaining experience at Ripley and Company. Leadership passed to his son Wilson upon his death in 1922, and later to T. Clarence Heisey in 1942; at its peak, the company employed nearly 700 people. Heisey closed its doors in December 1957, selling its assets to Imperial Glass Company, which continued producing some Heisey designs until its own bankruptcy in 1984.
