Corning’s Two-Decade Manufacturing Presence in Poland
Corning first entered Poland in 2001 when it opened a plant in Łódź. The company began production there in 2002, then moved operations to Stryków in 2007, where it also launched a local R&D department. Over time, Corning has expanded this Polish base with additional telecom equipment facilities and logistics space, making the country a key hub for its EMEA operations.
Today, Corning operates multiple facilities and warehousing buildings in Poland and continues to grow its optical fiber, cable, and connectivity manufacturing capacity to meet rising broadband and data‑center demand.
