our first operations in their basement on January 1, 1958.

Wilbert L. ("Bill") and Genevieve ("Vieve") Gore launch W. L. Gore & Associates in the basement of their home in Newark, Delaware to pursue their belief in the untapped potential of the polymer polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE. The enterprise’s first product is MULTI-TET™ Insulated Wire and Cable. The ribbon cable will be used most heavily in aerospace applications and the burgeoning computer industry.

Gore cables are first applied in outer space on the Telstar satellite launched by Bell Laboratories.

事業は引き続き、さまざまなカスタマイズされた製品を用いて顧客の配線問題の解決に焦点を当てており、最初の大きな注文を受けました – デンバー市向けの絶縁リボンケーブル7.5マイル。

The company earns its first patent. U.S. Patent 3,082,292 is issued to Bob Gore for the “Multiconductor Wiring Strip” known as MULTI-TET™ Cable. Bob Gore suggested this innovation to his father, Bill, while still a sophomore in college.

Gore supplies cable for the groundbreaking and highly successful IBM System/360 mainframe computer, the first mass-produced digital computer. Gore is the sole supplier of the transmission lines interconnecting the system.

Gore supplies cable for NASA’s Surveyor missions, the first U.S. effort to make a soft landing on the moon.

The Discovery of ePTFE

NASA’s Apollo 11 lands on the moon. Astronauts Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. and Neil Armstrong install seismographic equipment connected to the lunar lander with a small, lightweight cable manufactured by Gore.

ePTFE Improves Wire & Cable Products New high-speed coaxial cables, the first commercialized applications of expanded PTFE in electronics, are introduced for the computer market.

Cleaning the Air with Industrial Filtration Gore's industrial filter bag business begins. Gore is the first to use expanded PTFE for filtration, pioneering membrane surface filtration to capture contaminants and other particles.

GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft The first GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft is commercialized, launching Gore's medical business.

GORE-TEX Fabric Launches Gore makes its first sale of GORE-TEX Fabric to Early Winters, Ltd. catalog, which advertises its GORE-TEX Rainwear as "possibly the most versatile jacket ever made!"

Protecting First Responders GORE-TEX® Barriers for firefighting turnout gear is introduced to protect first responders from excessive heat stress.

Outfitting the Astronauts Gore fiber is used in space suits designed for astronauts on the Columbia, NASA's inaugural space shuttle mission. New Medical Applications Launch Gore launches its first medical ePTFE patch product, the GORE-TEX® Cardiovascular Patch.
