At Corning Incorporated, we are at the forefront of materials science, driving innovation that transforms industries and enhances everyday life. For over 170 years, our relentless pursuit of discovery has led to groundbreaking technologies in specialty glass, ceramics, and optical physics. Our journey began in 1851, and since then, we've consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible. This commitment to innovation was evident when we developed the glass encasement for Thomas Edison's first commercially practical incandescent lamp in 1879, a pivotal moment that established Corning as a key enabler of the electrical revolution. This spirit continued with the invention of Nonex, a thermally resistant borosilicate glass in 1908, which paved the way for Pyrex® in 1915, revolutionizing cookware and laboratory equipment with its durability and thermal shock resistance. Our innovative drive extends across diverse markets. We are a leader in optical communications, having invented low-loss optical fiber in 1970, a technology that underpins the global internet and telecommunications networks. In mobile consumer electronics, our Corning® Gorilla® Glass has set the standard for damage-resistant cover glass, protecting billions of devices worldwide. We are also a crucial player in display technologies, manufacturing the precision glass essential for the vibrant LCD and OLED screens in televisions, computers, and mobile devices. Furthermore, Corning's innovations in environmental technologies include ceramic substrates and filters that are vital for emissions control in vehicles. In the life sciences sector, our products, including brands like Falcon® and Axygen®, support critical drug discovery, development, and delivery processes. Through sustained investment in research and development, approximately 10% of our revenue, and a culture that fosters purposeful invention, Corning continues to collaborate with customers to solve their toughest challenges, shaping the future with materials that are integral to how the world interacts, works, learns, and lives.
