Business Wire
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today hosted a ceremony marking
the opening of the Corning Technology Center Berlin, located in the
Adlershof Science and Technology Park. Through the establishment of
this technology center in the Park, Corning will be able to pursue
faster innovation, build upon its commitment to customer
collaboration, and engage in a mix of potential industrial,
academic, and technology activities.
The new center is home to Corning Cable Systems’ Germany-based
members of Corning’s global Technology organization. Its Adlershof
Park location makes the center easily accessible from Corning Cable
Systems’ lead commercial office for Europe, the Middle East, and
Africa, also located in Berlin.
“Innovation has been a Corning hallmark for more than 160
years,” said keynote speaker Wendell P. Weeks, chairman and CEO,
Corning Incorporated. “We have been a pioneer in the field of
telecommunications since Corning scientists invented the first
low-loss optical fiber in 1970. In the 42 years since then, we have
produced a steady stream of innovations that increase the
efficiency and reduce the cost of optical networks. Yet, we have
barely scratched the surface in terms of unleashing the massive
capacity and lightning-fast speeds that fiber-optic networks can
deliver. This center will help us create next-generation
technologies to enable the on-demand information that consumers and
enterprises value.”
The opening ceremony was hosted by Weeks, Clark S. Kinlin,
executive vice president, Corning Telecommunications Business
Group, and Torsten Nath, director, Corning Cable Systems
Technology, EMEA. Speakers also included Governing Mayor of Berlin
Klaus Wowereit and Hardy Schmitz, CEO, WISTA-Management GmbH.
Invited guests included customers and representatives of the
universities and institutes located at the Adlershof Technology
Park.
“We are committed to collaboration with our customers to
understand their needs and develop breakthrough optical
connectivity solutions to their toughest problems,” Kinlin said
“This collaboration was instrumental in helping us develop our
Fiber to the Home and ClearCurve® product solutions. We view our
participation in the Adlershof community as an important extension
of this customer commitment.”
The Corning Technology Center Berlin is affiliated with
Corning’s global research and development network, including
telecommunications technology groups around the world; the Corning
Research Center, Taiwan, located at the Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) in HsinChu, Taiwan; the Corning
