Cherry Hill

About the Facility

The Cherry Hill facility has been part of the local Elkton community for the past 50 years. During this time, the site has grown alongside the community to become one of W. L. Gore & Associates’ largest and most vital operational sites.

Today, the Cherry Hill facility proudly serves as a research and development hub for the entire Gore Enterprise, responsible for processing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) for use in a variety of end products.

Cherry Hill’s research and development work supports Gore’s other facilities around the world, enabling Gore to create products used every day to not only enhance, but save lives. These include the manufacture of tapes and membranes that are components in products that are used in: critical aerospace and aviation applications, the manufacture of sensitive bio-pharmaceuticals, and for industrial filtration applications and semi-conductor manufacturing.
