Corning Incorporated was founded in 1851 as the Bay State Glass Co. by Armory Houghton, in Somerville, Massachusetts.
In 1868 the company was moved to Corning, NY by the founder’s son, Amory Houghton Jr. He subsequently renamed the company Corning Glass Works.
In 1908 the company established one of the first industrial research labs, which it continues to expand and is now a research and development facility.
Over the years Corning has developed a wide range of glass products, including the 200-inch telescope mirror at Palomar Observatory in 1934, improved car windshields in 1962, optical fibers in the 1970’s, and photonics in the 1990’s.
Today Corning manufactures glass and ceramic for products in the consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive, and life science industries. The company has 70 manufacturing facilities in more than 12 countries.
Corning Incorporated is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GLW, is a member of the S&P 500, is #343 in the Fortune 500, has 30,400 employees, and had $8.79 billion in revenue in 2013.
