Meta Bets on Domestic Manufacturing
“Building the most advanced data centers in the U.S. requires world-class partners and American manufacturing,” said Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer. He said the company is proud to team up with Corning, citing its deep expertise in optical connectivity and its commitment to domestic production to support Meta’s AI infrastructure needs.
Like laying new rails for a high-speed train, the deal underscores the race to fortify U.S.-based supply chains as demand for AI-ready data centers accelerates.
Limited Details, Big Signal
Representatives for Corning and Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday. Information about legal counsel for the companies was not immediately available.
Still, the announcement sends a clear signal: as data centers multiply and AI workloads swell, the glass-and-fiber maker from New York is positioning North Carolina as a cornerstone of America’s digital buildout.
