Corning Incorporated has reached an agreement to acquire TR Manufacturing Inc. Located chiefly in Fremont, California, TR Manufacturing provides fiber optic and copper cable and component interconnects, and electro-mechanical assemblies to OEMs. TR Manufacturing will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Corning, reporting to Corning’s optical communications business segment. “We are excited about the opportunity to expand Corning’s capabilities to service the growing bandwidth demand of all network operators,” said Clark S Kinlin, executive vice president, Corning Optical Communications. “TR Manufacturing’s expertise, supported by Corning’s global infrastructure, will allow the new entity to better meet customer needs for innovative solutions. We look forward to building a bright future together with their talented team.” The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter 2015.
