"... saying that Dow Corning is not high-tech because it did not win the Apple iPhone business ..."
I didn't say that. I cited the reference. Corning Inc. has the technology to produce the product. The article cites lead time to set up a batch-run & lack of facilities. Corning Inc. lost out because the Chinese firm was able to meet the un-reasonable constraints, faster. Is that the real reason Corning Inc. lost? I don't know, I just remember the NYT quote.
"Dow Corning have kept significant amounts
of manufacturing in the country"
When an MIT hack reports Corning Inc. as an example of keeping manufacturing in the US and the NYT incidentally reports Corning Inc. loosing a contract to supplying a high volume, hi-tech manufactured product, something doesn't tally. What's the real answer?
- tsotha 15y agoPresumably Corning has other contracts. It's not that unusual to lose a contract to the competition, foreign or domestic.
