Corning Glass to Purchase Revere Ware

Associated Press

Corning Glass Works, the nation’s leading maker of cookware, said Friday that it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase Revere Ware Inc., the second-largest manufacturer of range-top cookware.

Corning said the acquisition would be made in cash, but spokesman Eugene Saunders would not comment on a report that the price was $120 million.

Revere Ware, a Clinton, Ill.-based maker of stainless steel and copper cookware, is a subsidiary of the privately held Revere Copper and Brass Inc., founded by Paul Revere in 1801.
