W. L. Gore & Associates has made its name by creating innovative, technology-driven products.
The company’s 50-year history of innovation extends from surgical implants to the first waterproof, breathable fabric and from guitar strings to electronic cables used in space exploration. Today the company provides thousands of products that have set performance standards in diverse consumer, industrial, electronic, medical and surgical markets. And behind every product, and every application, you’ll find a steadfast commitment to performance and reliability.
Gore’s unique, team-based structure is perhaps as well-known as its innovative products. The company’s emphasis on direct communication, minimal barriers to creativity and sound decision making has proved to be good business. By design, Gore’s work environment encourages inventive thinking—the kind of inventive thinking that has generated thousands of valuable products and solutions. And because it encourages individual initiative and innovation, the company’s corporate culture fosters both associate satisfaction and product success.
A privately held enterprise whose annual sales are approximately $3 billion, Gore today claims a manufacturing or sales presence in more than 30 countries and employs more than 9,500 associates around the world.
