Corning Receives 2017 Raytheon Supplier Excellence Program EPIC Award

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced that its Specialty Materials Advanced Optics business received a 2017 Raytheon Supplier Excellence Program EPIC Award. Raytheon executive management presented the award in a recent ceremony held at Corning’s Keene, New Hampshire, manufacturing facility.

Raytheon grants EPIC awards to its highest-performing suppliers for overall excellence in performance, innovation, and collaboration for one or more Raytheon businesses. Corning was recognized specifically for work on Raytheon’s Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS). The MTS program serves the intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting (ISRT) needs of the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, across a variety of rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. Corning provides Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems business with electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems.

“We’re thrilled that Raytheon is recognizing the efforts of our Keene facility,” said Curt Weinstein, vice president and general manager of Corning’s Advanced Optics business. “We thank them for the opportunity and look forward to continued business that meets specialized aerospace and defense imaging needs.”

Corning employees “have built a decades-long legacy of excellence and innovation here in Keene, and I thank you for your contributions to the security of our great nation,” U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, of New Hampshire, wrote in a letter to employees. “Through [Corning’s] efforts to develop and perfect advanced optical systems like MTS, our servicemen and women have access to more detailed intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting data that will guide their decision-making. This work helps to keep our warriors safe from harm.”

Corning’s Keene manufacturing facility is a leading producer of electro-optical assemblies and systems. The facility has been serving the optics and aerospace and defense industries for nearly 30 years and is integral in implementing Corning’s core technology in optical physics, advanced electro-optical, and infrared systems development to pursue market opportunities.
