About Us

For 23 years I worked for and represented Corning Glass Works, the finest ceramics company in the world, the makers of Corning Ware cookware, Pyrex bakeware and Corelle dinnerware. It was during these years that I was blessed with working with so many wonderful people who helped to shape and mold my love for the glass ceramics business. I would like to personally thank these Corning people who had a significant and measurable impact on my life – Amory Houghton, Jamie Houghton, Tom Mac Avoy, Doug Lee, Dave Radin, Jack Bergstrom, Bill Dout, Lloyd Fuller, Hap McClure, Dave Rauscher, George Van Ness, Mike Schuster, Bruce Moore, Jack Sheehan, Dave Leber, Tom Mullen, Carl Schulteis, Team Metro, the Eastern Region and especially Terry Yearick and George Jackson for not just talking the talk but living and walking in truth and always shining their Godly light.

In October of 2004, three years after my tenure with Corning ended I received an unsolicited e-mail from Taiwan asking me if I would be interested in a new high temperature ceramic material that could go on top of the stove and under the broiler, a product that would surpass the cooking performance and benefits of the original Corning Ware. I say the original Corning Ware because the Corning Ware manufacturing facility in Martinsburg, WV was closed and dismantled in 2002. Corning Ware is still being marketed today by World Kitchen but the product is now being made of stoneware and not the patented pyro-ceram material that made Corning Ware so recognizable.

That e-mail from Taiwan came from Peter Hsu a ceramics research engineer/scientist and inventor and it found its way to my computer in New Jersey. That single e-mail became the catalyst for what would end up being three additional years of research, testing and product development. In February of 2007 Ceramcor, LLC was officially established in Toms River, New Jersey. Peter labored 20 years to ready his invention for production and I consider it a divine blessing that Peter and I should be brought together to form what I believe will someday be the most innovative ceramics cookware company in the world.

I also want to thank my fellow Ceramcor partners, Shirlin Cheung, Snow Hsu, Bob Bergstrom, Rich Daughtridge and Dave Schleigh for their expertise and support in developing the Xtrema product line.

It is our vision to make our Xtrema products the healthiest for you and our planet. We also want to develop the safest and most versatile cooking alternative versus metal and PTFE coated non-stick cookware. We intend to do everything in our power to make sure that your cooking experience is the absolute best that it can be.

I truly hope and pray that the effort that we put forth and their results will both honor and glorify God.

Blessings,

Thank you so much for starting your company and making such a wonderful product. For over a year I have been searching the internet for a truly safe cookware...the cast iron I use for my family is getting heavier every year. Plus, I wanted a safe way to heat water (for tea) and cook pasta. Xtrema does it all. Bye, Bye cast iron!
