Description

"Corning Incorporated is an American manufacturer of glass, ceramics, and related materials, primarily for industrial and scientific applications. The company was esatblished in 1851 as the Bay State Glass Co. in Somerville,Massachusetts, moving later to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York and adopting the name Brooklyn Flint Glass Worksand finally settling in Corning, New York, in 1868 with the name Corning Glass Works until 1989, when it changed its name to Corning Incorporated. In 1998, Corning divested itself of its consumer lines of CorningWare and Corelle tableware and Pyrex cookware selling them to World Kitchen, but still holds an interest of about 8%. As of 2014, Corning had five major business sectors: Display Technologies, Environmental Technologies, Life Sciences, Optical Communications, and Specialty Materials. Corning is involved in two joint ventures: Dow Corning andPittsburgh Corning. Quest Diagnostics and Covance were spun off from Corning in 1996."
