Corning Incorporated is the world leader in specialty glass and ceramics. They create and make keystone components that enable high-technology systems for consumer electronics, mobile emissions control, telecommunications, and life sciences. Success is driven by their sustained investment in R&D, more than 150 years of materials science and process engineering knowledge, and a distinctive, collaborative culture. Corning works closely with their customers to solve complex problems that others can’t, or won’t, solve. Time and again, their breakthrough, life-changing innovations have proven that, if it is possible, Corning will make it real.
Driven by imagination, a passion for science, and an unwavering belief that they can solve the toughest problems, Corning never stops asking: "What is possible?" Corning has been developing and commercializing revolutionary innovations since 1851. Thomas Edison came to Corning in 1879 to create the glass bulb for his incandescent lamp. In 1947 Corning helped make televisions affordable for millions with their mass-manufacturing processes for cathode ray tube (CRT) television glass.
In more recent years Corning developed the high-technology glass used in active matrix liquid crystal displays (LCDs); ceramic substrates and filters to remove harmful emissions from diesel- and gasoline-engine exhaust; and the first commercially viable, low-loss optical fiber for use in telecommunications systems. Corning’s ingenuity has been recognized with many prestigious awards, including four National Medals of Technology.
Today, Corning is a global leader in five vital business segments: Display Technologies, Environmental Technologies, Telecommunications, Life Sciences, and Specialty Materials. They are focused on putting their scientific and problem-solving capabilities to work to enable their customers’ success. Corning has a proven track record of being first to market with cost-effective innovations and ongoing product improvements.
Quality, Integrity, Performance, Leadership, Innovation, Independence, and “The Individual”: these are Corning’s Values that have endured throughout Corning’s history and are the moral and ethical compass that guides everything they do. As a global citizen, Corning lives their Values through meaningful acts of social responsibility, supporting community development and, along with their employees, helping to improve the quality of life in the communities they call home.
