Wheaton Industries was a manufacturer of glassware and ceramics products in Millville, New Jersey, USA. A spin-off of the original firm (which returned to its pharmaceutical glass roots) adopted the name in 2006.

Founded in 1888 by Dr. Theodore Corson Wheaton, it became a major part of the economy of southern New Jersey, which had gained a reputation as the center of commercial glass manufacturing in the United States.^[1] The company was run by the Wheaton family, and at its height had 41 factories throughout the United States and subsidiaries in 20 other countries. Many of its vintage products are considered to be collectors items. Formerly a subsidiary of Alcan Packaging as Wheaton Science Products, it was made private in November 2006, and is once again known as Wheaton Industries.
