Aerospace: Gore’s reputation for producing reliable and ingenious products is based in part on the company’s serious and successful participation in aerospace. Gore’s technically advanced products are found in commercial, military and business aircraft, missiles and spacecraft. They have been vital and trusted components of space programs dating from the Apollo moon landings to the exploration of Mars.

Automotive: Revolutionary and reliable Gore materials are prolonging the lives of automobiles and supporting the quest for alternative fuel sources. Gore materials in headlamps, sensors, batteries, and bearings enhance vehicle reliability. The company’s fuel cell technology paves the way to clean, renewable energy.

Chemical Processing: Applications of Gore’s expertise in production and application of fluoropolymers enable processes to run cleaner, safer, and more efficiently. Gore fluoropolymers prevent contamination and optimize performance in products ranging from cement to paper and petrochemicals.

Computing, Telecommunications, Test & Measurement

Computing, Telecom, and Test & Measurement: High-performance Gore products have a 50-year history of improving signal transmission, shielding, and mechanical integrity in a variety of computing and telecommunications applications. Gore's test and measurement cables provide accurate and repeatable measurements that enable engineers to make better decisions and assessments during product design.

Energy: Gore solutions are at the forefront of technical advancement in the energy-production industry. Products include filtration devices for demanding trash-to-steam energy production, membranes and electrodes for energy storage in batteries and capacitors, sensors for non-invasive geochemical hydrocarbon prospecting and membranes for superior fuel cell performance.

Environment: Gore’s respect for the environment is a natural outgrowth of our legacy of responsible innovation. Throughout our history, we’ve applied the principles of sound science to create products that improve the quality of life, including products that help solve difficult environmental challenges. For example, GORE® REMEDIA® Filters destroy harmful dioxins and limit toxic emissions. Gore’s sensing devices work to map soil contaminants and guide remediation. Our laminate covers accelerate organic waste treatment, and Gore membrane electrode assemblies lie at the heart of fuel cells, a promising source of clean energy.

Industrial & Manufacturing: Gore technologies meet the demands of an array of industrial applications. Products include sealants for chemical manufacturing and fibers for industrial equipment covers, filter bags for pollution control, and vents for containers of industrial cleaning solutions. Gore also produces electronic cables for automated equipment and microfiltration membranes for silicon chip manufacturing. Gore products for equipment manufacturers and large-scale end-use customers, which often are custom-designed, deliver the best possible combination of value and performance in use.

Medical: Gore's medical implants work in harmony with the body's own tissues to aid healing, and in many applications, to restore normal functions. They offer physicians exceptional performance and they offer patients peace of mind. Gore products provide new solutions to medical challenges in vascular, endovascular, interventional, general surgery, cardiothoracic, oral and orthopedic procedures. And GORE™ Membranes in medical devices and surgical fabrics create reliable barriers to viral and bacterial contamination without compromising airflow.

Military: Technically advanced Gore products enable military forces to focus on their mission without concerns about gear or equipment performance. Gore fabrics protect soldiers from cold, wind, driving rain, sleet and sandstorms. Electronic interconnects assure signal transmission for navigation and weapon telemetry. In aircraft, Gore materials seal access panels and illuminate panel displays.

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Gore PharmBIO Products ensure purity and security for global pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers through development and supply of innovative nonreactive product contact components that control contamination and meet demanding process challenges.

Semiconductor: For more than 30 years, Gore has worked closely with the semiconductor industry and understands the stringent requirements for purity and reliability. Gore’s products help to increase process yields, reduce equipment downtime, improve throughput, and deliver lower cost of ownership.

Textiles: Gore has been a pioneer in the development of high-performance textiles. The company began its work in this area in the 1970s with its discovery that outerwear could be both waterproof and breathable at the same time.
