Today, the European Commission announced an investigation into Corning for anti-competitive practices, alleging that the glassmaker is preventing competition through exclusive supply agreements.
Corning requires mobile phone manufacturers to source all or nearly all of their alkali-AS glass from it, and it also grants rebates to these companies if they do so.
These charges reinforce how aggressive Corning is in defending its dominant position in the smartphone glass screen market.
Corning's market dominance coupled with these practices are enough to get the EU's attention.
