How Corning Created Gorilla Glass And Reinvented Itself
CNBC has been doing a great job this past year and half on RUclips. Really good content, also Corning is pretty incredible, super resilient company.
i actually scrolled down to see if someone was going to mention this
I agree! I've been noticing more and more great videos coming from CNBC.
but dont forget they are a propaganda first place, and it is basically absolute like fox news etc...
Alternative Facts Survivor somehow I don’t think they are politicizing gorilla glass. You’ve missed the point 😂
@@muncherelli doesnt it matter how they are seeking more valor for them selfs with more quality videos, the media is one of the 4 powers, lobbying, banking, think tanks, and midia, the midia influence (propaganda) farming for the dishonest organizations that are above the government, so you see it was you that missed my point, in other words, it is basically irrelevant how ''better'' they are getting.
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”. ? Franklin D. Roosevelt.
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.
Vincero Alpha Exactly! Some entire industries survive by lobbying for protection, and killing competition. Corning is getting ahead in a way that doesn’t rely on crony capitalism or anticompetitive practices - they are a model for what a truly free market can achieve.
Tell that to Apple, the biggest company in the world.
Alexander Ross They are a fairly new company, who have been successful thanks to a handful of innovations. Even if the ideas behind some of their innovations aren’t original, Apple still gets by by doing everything better. A computer? Nothing new. But a user friendly computer? Genius. A phone with a touchscreen? Novel. But that design? Incredible. With each area they innovate in, they inevitably stagnate after a few iterations, relying on their brand to maintain lots of sales.
Big Oil is doing just fine relying on predatory practices, corporate welfare, political protection, stopping green tech innovation, hoarding green patents and unwillingness to adapt, evolve and diversify.
Wayne H that’s common knowledge and has no bearing on the subject matter, so what’s your point exactly?
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.
A lot of companies struggle to transform like this. Arrogance and holding on to the past has bankrupted a lot of historic companies...
Remember Kodak, inventor of the digital camera. Chose not to use it.
@@blacklikeme88 deserved it, trying to stop technological advances for the better of humanity for wealth will get ya!
@@Omar-em7rl you sounded like you were referring to today's Apple.
@@DarthAndre24 may beeee
actually, i choose phones nowadays purely if they have gorilla glass
These guys are responsible for scratches it level 6 and deeper grooves at 7
Lol
So true 😆
What does this phrase mean?
@@HipHopCantSaveMe check out 'Jerryrigeverything" youtube channel. Thats the phrase he always uses while scratch testing a screen.
zero1seven no, that’s just a property of glass, plus new gorilla glass prioritizes drop resistance leaving scratch resistance behind
Wow! Now I'm impressed how they understand their market. It's not really about the number of units but the area.
What do they mean by 'area'? Market segments or literal size of the glass surface?
@@shmookins they care about the area of glass sold.
I wish Mars had the same philosophy, 40 years ago you could beat someone to death with a Mars bar, today you can swallow one whole and it'd never be a choking hazard :/
Rob Fraser - that’s because the Mars bar is a rip-off of the Milky Way, which is still stupidly large...

Rudeness is not necessary to put stress on your point. If you don't have any idea how revolutionary such a perspective is then you should just respect the opinion of those who do. I do agree that it is common sense but I assure you, not everyone in the business has that common sense. It will be nice if you will be one of those to show them.
It is not really as simple as bigger pieces costing more. The problem is, if you are just computing per area, then the relationship should be linear. The problem with that is logistical and manufacturing costs increases progressively with size. The increase in cost is not linear. This means that larger pieces of glass should be giving them greater incentives than smaller pieces to compensate for that.
Now I don't think that incentive comes from the manufacturing side alone (cutting and polishing smaller pieces may cost more) but from the market too. They are a very old corporation and I can speculate with reasonable confidence that, this reasoning comes from experience with all the economic crisis they survived.
Can you imagine that bigger pieces of glass requires more materials than smaller pieces with the same ares. They need to be thicker and tougher. This will make the glass heavier and more difficult to transport and put in storage. Then the problem with manufacturing rejects. This means you will have more waste when making larger pieces. To minimize rejects, you can put the strain on the quality of the input ingredients. Better materials costs more. Not to mention the technology cost required to manufacture and develop the larger pieces.
I don't really know which is the greater factor for cost but knowing this from my perspective is enough for me to be impressed.
I live in Corning. Can confirm they basically built and run the whole town.
I live near Corning and visit friends there every weekend just about. Definitely agree. I work in software and most of the developers I know in the area work at Corning.
Where dat at??? 👀
Do they have their own currency for the company store?
@@TaunTom
Sixteen tons of glass, imagine that.
@@HipHopCantSaveMe New York.
I was born and raised in Elmira, NY. It's about 15 minutes from Corning.
Agree with the OP. Elmira just made national news for being one of two towns in America that still has it's local economy in a recession state (since 2007-2008).
Corning on the other hand, even during the recession grew and grew. The town is basically built from all the money Corning invests into it.
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.
How this MSM yt channel getting more and more interesting. Seems right people are in right place. Kudos 👍👍.
Lol I just thought the same thing.
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.
Love this kinda content from CNBC. In the last few weeks RUclips has been recommending them to me and I'm loving them quite a bit.
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.
Good post. I saw a video a while back about how one of the Detroit automakers, GM I think, bought out a tram/streetcar company in a major US city so that they could destroy it, which is what they did. The reason? Simple, no trams = more car journeys = more GM cars sold. This was in the 50's, but it was an appalling abuse of power. I was shocked at how it was legal/able to go ahead. I don't think it could happen now, at least not so blatantly, but I'm sure it must continue to happen in much more subtle and stealthy ways.
Visiting corning museum was so satisfying!
That Corning, NY museum was the cat's meow! It was a case of learning everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-glass that day. Man, they even were making glass furniture and musical instruments.
They have a RUclips Channel: Corning Museum of Glass
Im only an hour away and I havnt actually been into the museum yet. Whats wrong with me!?
Love you corning. My galaxy core prime suffered hardships and drops on hard floor for 3 years. Glass is still scratchless
I’m loving these mini business documentaries CNBC! Excellent work! More Please!
CNBC explains is great as well!
That was a really good video. Its nice when a video finds you. And not the other way round.
It is very impressive to see such a big tech company still stands out after existing since 1851!!! I am so glad to have my Galaxy S10+ as Gorilla Glass 6 in the front. I think 9:25 explains why phones are bigger and bigger in these days.
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.
While on my end atleast 20 corning plates were dropped and broken into pieces. I guess glass is still glass after all.
Pfft! I've got corningware cookware that is over 80 years old. Nobody knows the exact age because they kept getting handed down.
I've actually brought some out into reuse, also - their condition is excellent; not much of a reason not to besides the decor.
Great content! For a company that has been around over a century, not a lot of people recognize the name. Videos like this one help people recognize the lesser known innovators.
very impressive, some companies just stick to what works and repeat that, Corning is as flexible and malleable as glass itself. And this company doesnt just do one sector, its doing like all of them.
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.
Excellent stuff. A testament to the constant vision and focus on talent.
Very cool short documentary. I want to see more of these and I will.
Corning is like the friend who is just there in the background but it's always there.
Thank you CNBC, this video was both entertaining and informative. More please! Especially more focusing on innovative companies.
To Corning: I am grateful almost every day for my dishes - especially after mishaps.
It may sound "silly", but it is a superb convenience that can easily be taken for granted. They're not big bulky ceramic nor glass like the bowls that I got fooled on and are in extremely good condition.
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.
I think this was the most informative RUclips video I've seen to date
I remember going to corning when I was a kid raised in Rochester NY. They had a great kid museum. We still have corning cookware from 40 years ago.
CNBC has something good with these types of videos. Stop the fake news and give us great stuff like this.
Dear corning, we'll still waiting for scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8. Make it happen.
It’s happening but our major focus at the moment is flexible glass wiring.
You remind me of Jerry
@Arthur Ying Gaudefroy our doesnt mean only Corning, it's Market demand and technology direction. We as a human race needs flexible glass for optical cables, lens, screens, and windows. Just because he said OUR doesnt mean he works in corning. duh
I’m not sure what you mean by level 7 and what your talking about
richard ross I thunk he’s referring to jerry rig everything
Wow I didn't know Corning were so old.
Enjoyed the video. I am a retired professor and ASGS member. Thanks.
awesome content, keep uploading !
I watch videos like this for good naps one of best 2hr naps thanks😊
I love me some pyrex measuring cups
Interesting Documentary, would watch again.
Their success is not so much due to reinventing itself, but the fact that their choice of product i.e glass, is such a versatile material that is needed in so many tech products as technology evolved over the years and new products were invented.
Wow what an incredible company ... Very Neat to hear That almost the whole town actually works for the company The work whistle gets blown 8 times a day Letting workers know when to come and go .That is amazing .I think we should go back to this . I bet The town of Corning Has a very low Number of people With problems like depression and anxiety .
Thought this is just a reupload, but this is actually an update! Cool!
Never felt more adult-like than when I ditched my college era cheap plastic measuring cup and upgraded to a Pyrex glass measuring cup.
Watching on my cracked ass iPhone slightly disappointed in their product but impressed with their business lol
Uncommon and inspiring success story
This is why we need to be fostering CREATIVITY and developing INNOVATION in our schools. Design Thinking Process is where it's at!
This is an awesome company, learning to stay current with Tech and looking forward to the future. The Corning Glass Museum is a must see if you're ever in upstate NY. They also have a RUclips Channel
Nice work. Awesome video 👏👏
Good job NBC! ill be heading to Corning soon!
Pyroceram or glass ceramic in short. In the 1950s and 1960s, printed circuits and semi-conductors are made out of semi-conducting glass ceramics which starts at first as ordinary glass and is tested and once it passes the tests with flying colors the entire set up is then placed in a heat treatment oven and allowed to be annealed overnight at a very high temperature without causing high-temperature creep and by the next morning, 24 hours later, the entire set up has nucleatized into a glass ceramic based monolithic glass ceramic-based electronics systems used in the 1st generation of ICBM missiles and top secret BMEWS networks that resistant to EMP and CME.
soft , but extremely interesting !
Pretty incredible company
Proud to say they are near my area.
I enjoyed this report.
Wow I knew Corning, but only for GG not Pyrex nor Fiber. Sounds like an impossible company to takedown.
And I only New Corning for Pyrex for cooking and in the lab. Lol
Love how they talk about the iPhone having wireless charging even though Samsung has it first and they put the iPhone 8 on a Samsung charger
RUclips Nick It’s in relation to Apple investing in Corning’s R&D, as from 2017 onwards, all new iPhone models have featured glass backs (which of course is required for wireless charging)
@@ATTACKASSASSIN Glass backs are not required for wireless charging. Plastic works just as well for wireless charging, but that goes against Apple's branding.
@@Bob5mith plastic back doesnt feel as premium as glass does. That's why Samsung changed to all glass. I love my s5 but the changed to glass to to up a notch in quality feel, not quality in reality imo
@@kendelion It really doesn't matter once you put a cover on it to protect it and keep it from sliding out of your hand or pocket.
@@Bob5mith yeah, that's why the first thing most people does after buying a slim phone is to put a huge case to protect it from drops and scratches. Maybe that's one of the selling points, you get to customize your own phone by adding covers or cases
A fact not really touched on was that the genesis of modern Gorilla Glass was actually in the 1960s and known as 'Chemcor.' Several high-performance Chrysler factory 'A990' drag racers of the day - Dodge's Coronet and Plymouth's Belvedere - used Chemcor glass panes to lighten up the cars and still conform to NHRA regulations as glass is among the heaviest elements to a car and one of the hardest aspects to find a lighter alternative to.
Good job Rich. You’ve got the tiger by the tail. Keep pushing, I sure it won’t be long before you grow out of the location you’re building now.
Their CEO sounds like a heavy smoker from the Wild West in the 1800's lol.
These people have dedication for glass.
Seriously, who hasn't heard Dow Corning? You really have to be living under a rock to not know about this glass company. This company needs no explanation. Their products are in everyones home in more places than they realize. From dishes, cookware, laminate reinforcement, hot chimney gaskets and glass wool batting insulation hiding inside your walls. This company invented glass insulation wool and heat resistant glass. One of the few American big companies that actually does better work for a better world than most. I hope Dow Corning stays around for another century at least since they keep pioneering new ceramic materials that engineers can only dream about. Dow makes high tech ceramics and glass affordable to the rest of us.
I live in a community were Century Link has fiber on one side of the neighborhood but not willing to roll out on the other side. This plays into the eb n flow of a business like Corning.
That's a company with the right leadership.
Good job cnbc team
Awesome video
quality content!
Nice history on Corning, but not a lot of technical info on how G glass is "created". Misleading video title.
It's classified. Here's another video of how they do it: ruclips.net/video/gZPeyErbqz4/видео.html
wow that was way more fascinating then I thought it would be!
Ok, the thing I want to know is what material are they using in the LIGO observatory that is both reflective and transparent.
interesting perspective on business
do they make alloy out of glass and other elements?
killing it with the content, following that Vox model but less visuals and more information
Seems like what reporting was and should be. (I can't overlook this being an alternate motive of CNBC's to analyse for investment purposes while making money doing it. Wrong? Not exactly. Innocent? Not exactly.)
Now that was interesting.
Always thought making glass would be cool 😎 😎
Corning CEO and chairman is chill person
Now if they could make windshields that dont break when a pebble glances of it I will be really impressed.
IKR? I got a new car and within 2 weeks! $^%*^&
Never had had a rock break my windshield, even at highway speeds... whatchu talkin bout Willis
David lol I wish!! come to Alberta Canada. We go through a windshield every two years here.....
@@Packinheat1175 damn dude, does it happen a lot during the colder months in winter mostly? i must be pretty lucky since i haven't had a windshield break for me yet
A rock cracked my windshield and I’m in Florida.
as long as notches go away you can flexible what ever you want
Great video, love Corning, one little comment though, in your manufacturing processes, it's not vapor disposition, it's vapor deposition, deposition coming from the word 'deposit'.
longest ad I've watched in a while
Nice to see something to genuinely admire in the US, I've been struggling to find that kind of things the last few years...
I have the first two dishes they showed! 🤣
Good for them !.
Pyrex glass is used for bongs. NICE!
And this is why I am and will always be a shareholder
Lol
@paula Because that is a bit of an odd reason to be a shareholder. Also, depending on how much of the stocks of a company you actually own, being a stakeholder is meaningless.
It's rare to see a company deserving of it's stock. Notice how this company has been successful without trying to sell you junk products.
Isn't it Vapor Deposition? You have Vapor Disposition written down(10:22)
Makes me want to invest in Corning, it doesn't seem like they're going out of business any time soon
Why do I feel like they're screaming, *"INVEST IN CORNING".*Weird
You're not wrong. This is the 3rd video of Corning I've seen on this channel in recent times.
I got an ad for ronbin hood the investment app to
"zinc is your friend"
Your seeing it opposite from the way I do. I hear them saying, you should have been invested in Corning, and that keep your ear to the ground because any industry can suddenly become an innovator in an unexpected place!
@@LostieTrekieTechie the future is galvanizing
I may be stealing a Corning marketing term, but we aren’t in the digital age but the glass age where we are connected on glass and our whole world revolves around it
Pretty nice advert. Still quite informative.
"Scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7
great company
They are using new technology to stay ahead of the competition, something that more companies should do. Also keeping the process technology within the plant keeps them #1. When others are using laws to keep away the competition such as we see with cars, and many other products. They don't talk about their products so that others don't copy what they are doing, as opposed to using laws to keep others from making similar things.
3:24
I wish I could eat that without dying. It looks delicious.

I looked at my cracked I phone glass. 😂🤣😂
Have you ever had a Pyrex baking pan explode on you? The next morning after Thanksgiving my large Pyrex glass pan was in shards all over the refrigerator base and some went up onto the next shelf. I had to toss all my leftovers.
This is a really informative video for sure, but the automotive industry had not been mentioned. If you know your history, Corning fiberglass packing had been used in performance mufflers for cars (Sonic Turbo muffler). Also we cannot forget a merger of companies that was Owens-Corning.
This sounds and looks like an advertisement for Corning, but it is also a fair coverage of a company that never seems to set a foot wrong. I recently retired from an IT support role and I don't recall any optical fiber we used that was not made by Corning. Although there is a lot to go wrong with production of optical fiber we never saw any of that. I can't think of another supplier that is that dead reliable.
Gorilla glass was originally called Chemcor. It was used in 1968 by Chrysler for the side and rear glass for the super stock hemi Darts and Barracudas.
3:07 to 3:15 In 2007 Corning Glass introduce bendable glass fiber optics that can bend at 90 degree angles. But what Corning Glass does not have is Russia's own military grade self-amplifying bendable glass fiber optics that can also not only bend at 90 degree angles but can also re-amplify laser signals by itself alone without the need for laser fiber optic amplifiers!
thnx Corning!
I love this, super interesting. But this is a advertising for them, or? i don't even know how many places i could link in the video it really sounds like it!.
