Corning Inc. (GLW) on Monday said it will retrofit a production
plant in the Hefei Xinzhan Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone in
the Anhui Province, China, to serve its Automotive Glass Solutions
unit.
Corning said the facility, which it expects will be fully
operational in 2019, will produce Gorilla Glass for automotive
interiors.
The Corning, N.Y., maker of specialty glass and ceramics didn't
disclose the size of the investment in the facility. Corning said
retrofitting an existing facility will help it add capacity quickly
and efficiently.
Corning said the facility will be its third manufacturing site
in Hefei. The company in May said it opened the world's largest LCD
glass substrate facility in Hefei to serve Chinese panel maker BOE
Technology Group Co. (000725.SZ).
