The facility, one of the largest fiber optic plants in the European Union, is the newest in a string of global investments in Corning’s fiber and cable production totaling more than $500 million from 2020, supported through the development of calls and commitments to customers.

“Corning is expanding its fiber production business in Europe as our consumers increase their investments in future-proof networks,” said Corning President and CEO Wendell P. Weeks. “From broadband to 5G to cloud computing, every network of tomorrow is fiber optic. “This facility will allow us to continue to serve our consumers well in Europe and beyond.
