GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors earn global honors
GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors took home this year’s global Plunkett award for excellence in fluoropolymer innovation. With applications in the oilfield services and aerospace industries, Gore’s innovation enables a film dielectric, known for reliability, to be used in a temperature range not previously possible. Gore is working with leaders in oilfield and aerospace innovation to put the capacitors to use in these industries.

Addressing the Challenge of Silicone-Sensitive Biologics
Biologic drugs are at the forefront of biomedical research. Developed to treat complex diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, they are typically administered by injection. However, some biologics can negatively interact with silicone, a common lubricant within a pre-filled syringe delivery system. The new GORE™ ImproJect™ Plunger eliminates the need for silicone in both plunger and glass barrel, while ensuring the functionality and performance of pre-filled syringes.

Fitting like a sock
Lightweight elastic shoes are gaining traction. Not surprisingly, as they effectively contour to the shape of the foot to provide enhanced comfort. The new GORE-TEX® 3D fit footwear technology also delivers waterproofness, windproofness and breathability.
Unveiled at this summer’s OutDoor Retailer Show in Denver, CO, first models will be available in-store and online beginning in February 2019.

Sparking New Ideas and Opportunities
Silicon Valley is home to some of the world’s biggest technology companies, leading academic institutions and thousands of start-ups. The Gore Innovation Center places us in the middle of it all — a space where we collaborate, explore and spark opportunities with fellow innovators. From our recent Digital Health Innovation Day to forums and make-a-thons, we partner to solve challenges and bring new ideas to life.

A Continued Commitment to Improving Life
It’s a milestone year for Gore! Sixty years have passed since our founders celebrated New Year’s Day — and their 23rd wedding anniversary — by starting a new business venture in the basement of their home to explore opportunities for fluorocarbon polymers. Today, Associates around the world strive to build on their legacy and deliver innovations that improve lives and industries.
