CORNING, N.Y., February 6,
2014 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
announced a commercial agreement with SnapCab®
Elevator Interior Systems for thin, lightweight, durable
Corning®
Gorilla® Glass.
SnapCab will design Gorilla Glass into its modular wall-panel
systems, which are used in residential and commercial elevators.
The same Gorilla Glass that has helped protect handheld electronic
devices will now be used in interior architecture to enable new
lightweight designs for elevator cabs, lobbies, and conference
rooms.
"The benefits of Gorilla Glass now extend beyond
consumer electronics to offer SnapCab and their customers a unique
architectural product that will enable true color match," said
Henry Dunnenberger III, business director, Corning Innovative Glass
Solutions. "Gorilla Glass is also lightweight, allowing new and
refurbishment designs to operate within tight elevator weight
budgets. And because our glass is highly scratch-resistant and
durable, it can help protect modular wall systems from everyday
bumps. We are excited to work on this opportunity with SnapCab."
"Integrating Gorilla Glass into our modular
elevator system delivers a truly unique product," said Glenn
Bostock, chief executive officer of SnapCab Elevator Interior
Systems. "The durability of Gorilla Glass combined with our
easy-to-install system, saves our customers time and money, while
providing a look that cannot be duplicated with traditional
architectural glass."
Corning Gorilla Glass was originally introduced to
help protect consumer electronics from the scratches, bumps, and
damage of everyday use. It has been designed into more than 2,400
product models, and is used in 2 billion devices by 33 major
brands. Applications beyond consumer electronics include household
appliances, automotive, architecture, rail, and aviation.
