Commemorating a Milestone
On October 28, 1969 Bob Gore discovered ePTFE, a versatile fluoropolymer that transformed our Enterprise and continues to contribute value to society. Today, this material is traveling through outer space, healing hearts and protecting first responders.

One Patient’s Story
Runner Kathryn Dunning has long relied on GORE-TEX Products to protect her from the elements. But she never guessed that Gore’s technology would also mend her heart. After suffering a stroke related to a common heart defect, Kathryn went through months of medical appointments to determine the best path forward. When a doctor showed her our minimally invasive solution, the decision became clear.

Partnering on Health Wearable Solutions
The market for health wearables – such as health trackers and remote patient monitoring devices — is growing rapidly as technology advances. The Gore Innovation Center in Silicon Valley is collaborating with startup companies to provide expertise in materials science for better comfort, wearability and biocompatibility, with a goal to enhance the design for the end user.

Building on our Natural Curiosity and Imaginative Spirit
For more than 60 years, Gore has harnessed the natural curiosity and imaginative spirit of our Associates to create products that make a difference in the world. And Bloomberg Businessweek recently took notice, exploring Gore’s inventive history as well as modern day ventures — and showing that our commitment to innovation is as strong as ever.
