“Our largest brands still benefit from glass and glass ceramic technologies developed when we were part of Corning,” said Carl Warschausky, CEO of World Kitchen. “We are excited to work with a market leader in glass and glass ceramic materials, and look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration on possible new consumer housewares products.”
