Nvidia has formed a partnership with Corning to expand manufacturing of fiber optics for AI infrastructure.
As part of the partnership, Corning will boost its U.S.-based optical connectivity manufacturing capacity by ten times and expand its U.S. fiber production capacity by more than 50%.
That includes the construction of three new manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas.
Corning has seen surging profit as the rapid data-center build out has accelerated demand for its fiber optics, which are used in AI data centers to transfer data quickly and at scale.
Corning's stock rose 14% to $185.59 in premarket trading. Nvidia is up 2.7% at $201.73 premarket.
