How We Innovate

Our founders designed our workplace to be as innovative as the products we create. They believed ingenuity and creativity are inherent in everyone and set out to create an environment that harnesses the power of all to innovate.

Associates are encouraged to seek new opportunities and collaborate directly with the right people to get the job done. Our innovation process leans on our deep relationships both inside and outside of our enterprise.

Collaboration and experimentation

We believe in the potential of each individual and the diverse perspectives and collaboration found in small teams. There is a space and place for every innovator at Gore.

As an extension of our culture, we take pride in working with our customers to meet their most technically challenging problems. We innovate alongside our customers, wherever they are — listening deeply and asking questions to ensure we understand, meet or exceed their expectations.

This collaborative approach, combined with our natural curiosity, spirit of discovery and courage to take risks, drive us to develop new technology and create new products.

As long as there are opportunities to solve complex problems using our advanced materials, there will always be new developments and innovative products from Gore.

Rigorous testing capabilities

Behind every Gore material, prototype or product are rounds of testing and analysis.

We test extensively in our laboratories and in the field under real-world conditions to ensure performance and longevity.

Our testing and characterization techniques support innovation and product development across our enterprise — from new ideas to process improvements and even conducting failure analysis.

Conducted within specialized labs, a few of those specialties include:

  • Analytical chemistry and microscopy
  • Materials characterization
  • Environmental chambers
  • Biological tissue response
  • Heat and flame

We make a commitment to each of our customers that our products will perform as promised — every time, without compromise. Through our materials science expertise and rigorous testing, customers can rely on Gore products in demanding environments where failure is not an option.
