In 2002 , scientists at the Corning European Technology Centre research facility in France were investigating challenges within various industries . Meanwhile , chemical manufacturing companies were seeking opportunities to create products in a safer , more environmentally friendly way .
Making major changes in an industry that is heavily regulated and relied on to produce a wide variety of products , such as pharmaceuticals , cosmetics and electronics patients , was ’ lives a disruptive . ask . However , Corning scientists saw an opportunity to investigate how their materials science knowledge could

To ensure the innovation work in this area could continue and that the company would be able to supply an integrated system , rather than standalone components , Corning reapplied its existing modelling , equipment engineering and manufacturing expertise to help create a production unit that offered a more efficient way to process chemicals in a smaller footprint versus traditional , large-batch chemical reactors using inherently safer continuous

After several prototypes , fine-tuning and inputs from major chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers , Corning officially launched its first reactor in 2006 . It was called the 1X and was later renamed the G 1
. The reactor was at meso scale and fulfilled the criteria of
