Corning Inc. is set to open a $900 million manufacturing facility in Saginaw County, Michigan, by late 2025, creating 1,100 jobs. The plant will produce solar industry components, strengthening the U.S. clean energy supply chain. Hiring is already underway.
Michigan provided over $100 million in incentives to secure the project, citing its strong workforce and commitment to onshoring. Corning is also expanding its Canton, New York, facility with a $315 million investment to boost semiconductor glass production.
The company continues to see strong financial performance, with record fourth-quarter sales of $3.9 billion. As Corning advances its solar and semiconductor initiatives, more details on its long-term strategy are expected in the coming months.
