Corning CEO Wendell Weeks states the company is largely immune to tariffs. Its business primarily focuses on the U.S. market. Corning designed this strategic positioning to foster innovation and customer proximity. This strategy insulates the company from trade disputes.
Weeks specified that 90% of Corning's U.S. revenue comes from domestically manufactured products. Factories in China source only 1% of the company's U.S. sales. Corning locates production close to major customers including Apple, Nvidia, and Amazon. This model minimizes its exposure to tariffs on Chinese goods.
