About the Southern Tier
The Southern Tier of New York – along with the Finger Lakes and Western New York – has a rich history of manufacturing the tools and products this country needs. Everything – including fire trucks, generators, turning & milling machines, furniture, and Corningware – was built in this industrial region.
In recent years, the Southern Tier has seen an evolution of manufacturing jobs to compete with 21st-century technology. Steuben County’s Corning Incorporated now supplies the world’s smartphone and smart device market with industry-leading Gorilla Glass, as well as clean air products for gas and diesel engines. Major manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Cummins, CAF, Dresser-Rand, and Hilliard Corp keep several facilities and offices throughout the Southern Tier.
Rail manufacturing and defense contractors are still important sectors in the Southern Tier economy. Another stimulant to the Southern Tier’s economy has by hydrofracking operations taking place in the Nothern Tier of Pennsylvania. Oil and gas companies running fracking operations in PA have set up support operations in the Southern Tier.
As the history of the Southern Tier continues to develop, K&L Plating will be there to meet your plating and metal finishing needs.
Corning, New York includes the headquarters of Corning, Incorporated.
