In addition, the company plans also to perform tank maintenance in the fourth quarter of 2008. Its production lines located at the same premises will likely to suspend production at the start of 2009. According to the same source, Corning also decided to lower its capital spending outlook for 2008-2009 by approximately US$400-600 million.
