SCHOTT hosted U.S. Vice President Mike Pence for a tour of its facility in Duryea, PA.

The site serves as the lead production hub for SCHOTT’s advanced optics business in North America and is home to the company’s U.S. R&D center. It opened in 1969 to support the U.S. defense industry and ensure the supply of strategic material.

“We’re honored to have had the opportunity to showcase how American manufacturing continues to further U.S. innovation and impact industries globally,” SCHOTT North America President Jim Gareau said. “The products made here by SCHOTT’s highly specialized workforce are found in commercial aircraft, smartphones, and all kinds of advanced optical instruments around the world.”

As part of the event, SCHOTT exhibited equipment and processes for the fabrication of mission-critical specialty glass applications: precision optical glass used in night vision goggles; laser glass used in large-scale projects for nuclear fusion research and for laser applications in medical technology markets; infrared glass used in defense products like thermal imaging cameras, diagnostic equipment or climatology satellites; and filter glass used in analytics or photography, among other applications. SCHOTT’s ZERODUR material, which is used for example in gyroscopes that help airplanes remain stable during flight, is also manufactured at the site.
