World's largest fiber optic cable manufacturer
In May 2026, NVIDIA and Corning announced a landmark manufacturing partnership: NVIDIA is investing $500 million in Corning and committing to a multiyear supply deal, while Corning builds three new advanced optical manufacturing plants in North Carolina and Texas. The deal will expand Corning's US optical connectivity capacity 10x and create over 3,000 high-paying American jobs. The factories will produce fiber and optical interconnect components exclusively for NVIDIA's AI data center buildout — a response to severe fiber shortages (AI data centers require 36x more fiber than standard server deployments).
