Corporate Profile

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), founded in 1851, and headquartered in Corning, New York, USA is one of the world’s leading innovators in materials science. For more than 165 years, Corning has applied its unparalleled expertise in specialty glass, ceramics, and optical physics to develop products that have created new industries and transformed people’s lives. Corning entered the India market in late 1980s to produce cathode ray tube (CRT) glass for the TV industry. This local production of CRT TV glass supported the advancement of affordable TV ownership across the region. Corning then established a liaison office in India in 1988. Since then, Corning has been actively participating in India’s development, working with local expertise to develop and apply Corning’s breakthrough technologies that significantly improve people’s lives. Today, Corning’s investments in India align well with emerging market trends in the region. Corning Life Sciences offers a comprehensive range of innovative, high-quality labware products and solutions for life science research and bio production. Corning provides the world’s most comprehensive line of drug discovery tools to support Indian biotechnology researchers in their quest to minimize the time and cost being spent on the development of new medicines. With India’s population expected to reach 1.6 billion in 2027 (per the 2019 UN Report on World Population), this growing population demands not only large-scale production of vaccines but also research for newer vaccines relevant to India. Corning’s bioprocessing tools are already helping Indian biopharma companies develop and produce vaccines. The acquisition of the BD (Becton Dickinson) Discovery Labware business in 2012 has expanded the Corning Life Sciences product portfolio and enhanced its access to an extensive dealer network to serve customers in India.
