How Corning Created Gorilla Glass And Reinvented Itself

CNBC has been doing a great job this past year and half on YouTube. Really good content, also Corning is pretty incredible, super resilient company.

This is how a company stays in business for generations, not by relying on predatory practices, corporate welfare, political protection, but on good old innovation. If a company is willing to adapt, evolve and diversify, then not can they stay ahead of the competition, but do so without losing their ethos and quality in the process.

Wow! Now I'm impressed how they understand their market. It's not really about the number of units but the area.

A lot of companies struggle to transform like this. Arrogance and holding on to the past has bankrupted a lot of historic companies...

These guys are responsible for scratches it level 6 and deeper grooves at 7

I'm very proud to be a retired Corning employee from the Greenville, Ohio plant. 37 active years- 23 retired.A great company to work for.

I live in Corning. Can confirm they basically built and run the whole town.

Visiting corning museum was so satisfying!

Back about 1960 I was doing a science project and needed a glass tube. I wrote Corning, told them what I needed, and not long thereafter, it arrived! No charge, support science education. No wonder they are so successful.

I have a set of Corning ware dinner plates that are over 20 years old...not a chip, scratch or discoloration on them. They look as new as the day I got them.

Love you corning. My galaxy core prime suffered hardships and drops on hard floor for 3 years. Glass is still scratchless

[bruhdabones]

Truly amazing. Their commitment to R&D seems to be unparalleled, especially considering their size and age. Other companies could learn a thing or two from Corning! So many other industries are stuck in the past, and are slow to change. The car industry is so opposed to change, for example, that they actively work to take out competitors who threaten to force them to change. Tesla is really struggling to bring change because of Detroit, for example.

Corning is like the friend who is just there in the background but it's always there.

Love this kinda content from CNBC. In the last few weeks YouTube has been recommending them to me and I'm loving them quite a bit.

[slimessiful]

Dear corning, we'll still waiting for scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8. Make it happen.

[farisasmith]

I have Corning ware that belonged to my mother. Also an old pyrex glass coffee percolator that just won't quit. As a kid we went to the Corning factory and watched glass production and blowing . It was great. Glad to see them continue to evolve.

I am a robotics engineer and Im happy to see they FANUC robots. Along with GM, Chrysler, Ford, Tesla almost all major manufacturers. I mainly specialize in Paint robots used to paint all vehicles from all auto companies. Pharmaceutical companies also use our robots to separate pills by color, shape, size... as a service technician I'm still waiting to go to Tesla to work on their robots.... I would love to go inside the Tesla plant.

I’m loving these mini business documentaries CNBC! Excellent work! More Please!

Got to admire an old company like Corning able to not just innovate but master the art of it to stay relevant, cutting edge and totally essential. Their management team members must be pretty awesome.
