Optiemus to make tempered glass screen protectors with Corning in India

Optiemus on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) partnered with Corning to make tempered glass screen protectors called RhinoTech for smartphones in India. Corning will supply glass for the screen protectors while Optiemus will do the chemical processing at its Noida-based plant and bring out an end product meant for premium to budget segment phones in the country and later for the world's consumption. Optiemus is looking to generate ₹2,000 crore revenue with the RhinoTech by the end of FY 2027. Currently, the glass screen protector is a $2.5 billion industry which is expected to grow to $5 billion in next five years. The new RhinoTech glass screen protector also claims to have anti-microbial properties and built on the standards set by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for the shields. India has set a global standard for tempered glass screen protectors via a BIS notification which aims to eliminate substandard products. It includes parameters for chemical tempering, visual defects, and mechanical strength, including compression and flexural tests. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) RhinoTech tempered glass will have a fog mark as well for authenticity. For the launch, Optiemus said to replace the new screen protector for free, one year, if damage happens. This collaboration aims to provide Indian consumers with high-performance screen protection, offering superior scratch resistance and drop protection up to 6 feet. Optiemus said that RhinoTech tempered glass screen protectors will be available in India by the end of September 2025. In 2023, Optiemus and Corning announced a JV to make cover glass in Tamil Nadu which is expected to start the production soon.
