The new investment will support Corning\u2019s R&amp;D, capital equipment needs and state-of-the-art glass processing. Corning&#8217;s 65-year-old Harrodsburg facility has been integral to the 10-year collaboration between these two innovative companies and will be the focus of Apple\u2019s investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorning is a great example of a supplier that has continued to innovate and they are one of Apple&#8217;s long-standing suppliers,\u201d said Jeff Williams, Apple\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cThis partnership started ten years ago with the very first iPhone, and today every customer that buys an iPhone or iPad anywhere in the world touches glass that was developed in America. We\u2019re extremely proud of our collaboration over the years and we are investing further with Corning who has such a rich legacy of innovative manufacturing practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Apple8217s_Commitment_to_Invest_1_Billion_with_US-based_Companies\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> Apple&#8217;s Commitment to Invest $1 Billion with US-based Companies<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#History_of_Relationship_Between_Apple_and_Corning_Incorporated\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> History of Relationship Between Apple and Corning Incorporated<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"Apple8217s_Commitment_to_Invest_1_Billion_with_US-based_Companies\"><strong>Apple&#8217;s Commitment to Invest $1 Billion with US-based Companies<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple has committed to investing at least $1 billion with US-based companies as part of the fund, which is designed to foster innovative production and highly skilled jobs that will help lay the foundation for a new era of technology-driven manufacturing in the US.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorning\u2019s longstanding relationship with Apple has not only led to significant glass innovations that have enabled new capabilities for consumers, it has also helped create nearly 1,000 American jobs and allowed us to continue growing and expanding in the US,\u201d said Wendell P.
