At Gore, we believe in celebrating our successes and having fun together. This includes a recent 80s-themed party to mark the 40th anniversary of our Barksdale plant in Delaware. From neon sweaters to side ponytails and a “Where’s Waldo” sighting, the festivities hearkened back to Barksdale’s early days. Once a manufacturing facility, the plant is now home to our Capabilities Center and is our “front door” to Gore. It is a space to showcase our incredible and passionate Associates, demonstrate our innovative technologies and inspire collaborative partnerships. During the celebration, Gore family member and Associate Betty Snyder took us through the history of Barksdale, while CEO Bret Snyder joined in the festivities. Associates also shared their favorite memories on a whiteboard (captured in the photos below). #TogetherImprovingLife #LifeAtGore #TotallyRad

Such an amazing day at W. L. Gore & Associates in Barksdale, DE for our second Howard University College of Engineering and Architecture Office of Student Services’ Experiential Friday! Great presentations and demonstrations. Awesome facilities! We even did some product testing in the Rain Room. Our clothes were bone dry under those Gore slicker suits! Can’t wait for our next Experiential Friday!💙❤️🦬

October marks Disability Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the significant accomplishments of people with disabilities and reinforce the importance of inclusive and accessible environments where everyone can fully engage and contribute. Our SWAG diversity network (Strong Working Abilities Across Gore) plays a critical role in fostering inclusivity and awareness. This includes connecting Associates with valuable educational and support resources and hosting engaging information sessions, like a recent neurodiversity panel discussion in collaboration with Gore’s Latin America DE&I network. Pictured below, SWAG network members participate in the 2024 Disability:IN conference, a major event connecting disability advocates, accessibility professionals and corporate leaders from around the world to share insights and strategies for inclusive environments in business. Thank you to the many passionate Associates who help drive awareness and progress. #TogetherImprovingLife #LifeAtGore #DisabilityAwarenessMonth #DEI #Neurodiversity
