Corning will support China’s effort to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the regional pharmaceutical supply chain by donating Type I borosilicate glass tubing. This high-quality tubing will be converted into 5 million to 10 million ampoules and vials that will then be supplied to Chinese pharmaceutical companies for parenteral packaging of drug therapies.

This support from Corning follows the company’s donation in February of digital thermometers and gloves that were provided to aid in protecting the health of medical and social workers on the front lines of combating COVID-19 in local Chinese communities.

As a responsible corporate citizen, Corning China proactively helps fight coronavirus since the outbreak.
