Market-Access Platform Highlights

Corning continues to advance important growth initiatives across its Market-Access Platforms. Highlights include:

Automotive – Environmental Technologies furthered the adoption of its gasoline particulate filter (GPF) innovations, highlighted by its launch of a new generation of GPFs that help vehicles, including hybrids, achieve even lower levels of fine-particulate tailpipe emissions as regulatory limits tighten. Automotive Glass Solutions is meeting growing demand through its large-scale facility in Hefei, China, while collaborating with leading OEMs. Corning is addressing a combined $100-per-car content opportunity across emissions, technical glass products, and auto-glass solutions, including patented 3D Corning® ColdForm™ Technology.
