EUROKERA, A GLOBAL glass-ceramic manufacturer, is celebrating 25 years of providing innovative solutions for cooking surfaces, as well as hearth applications. From two sites in France to five worldwide locations, EuroKera has become the world’s reference supplier of advanced cooking surfaces. Formed through a merger of Saint-Gobain and Corning Inc., EuroKera has prospered due to the Corning discovery of glass-ceramic and its more than 150 years of experience with specialty glass and ceramics, as well as the glass-manufacturing expertise of Saint-Gobain (founded in 1665).

Two of the company’s most successful products are Pyroceram®III and Pyroceram Reflections™. Pyroceram III is UL component registered because of its high resistance to heat and its proven durability. Scott Watson, marketing and communication manager for EuroKera, says, “It is used in many wood-burning, gas, and fireplace applications due to its low thermal expansion and high mechanicalresistance properties.”

The company has done business in North America for 20 years. Its headquarters are in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
