Corning Inc. (GLW) - known as Corning Glass Works until 1989 - has a long and rich history dating back to 1851.
For instance, the California Institute of Technology's famous 200-inch telescope mirror at the Palomar Observatory was cast by Corning between 1934–1936, out of low-expansion borosilicate glass.
