Separate companies. Pyrex is licensed now by World kitchen which was the pyrex glass division that Corning spun off. World kitchen now makes the glass ware in PA out of soda-lime glass rather than the more durable borosilicate glass. In the EU pyrex is still made out of borosilicate glass.

Anchor hocking is a separate 2nd largest glassware company.
