Hoover's coverage by Chris Huston

Overview

Corning is building a foundation out of glass. Once known for its kitchenware and lab products, the company manufactures glass substrates primarily for LCD displays. It also makes optical fiber and cable, and other telecommunications equipment, substrates and filters for emissions control products, glass and optical materials for a wide range of industries, and labware and equipment. More than half of Corning's sales (and all of its display segment customers) come from the Asia/Pacific region, including nearly a third from Taiwan; more than a quarter of sales comes from the US. Corning has about 60 manufacturing and processing facilities across 14 countries.
