Consolidation creates efficiencies for the innovative 20-year old company and its customers.
Syntec Optics, (video here) a privately-owned advanced polymer optics manufacturing company in Rochester, NY, has announced the completion of its move from three separate facilities in New York State to the City of Rochester.
“Syntec Optics (website here) is making American manufacturing globally competitive again. The move enables global customers to now benefit from a vertically integrated supply chain and quicker product development cycles”, said Al Kapoor, owner of Syntec, who appreciates the optics talent Kodak and Bausch & Lomb helped create over many decades in the City of Rochester.
Kapoor continues to invest in Syntec Optics, helping the company continue to be an industry pioneer. He founded Syntec Optics and its affiliates immediately after his graduation from Harvard Business School in 1997 and was later able to buyout his outside institutional investors. Syntec’s pioneering plastic optics assemblies and components are used in numerous industries, from defense missiles and night vision goggles, to medical detection of disease, and consumer virtual reality.
Karen Altman, Manager of Business Development for the City of Rochester said, “We are fortunate to have Syntec Optics in Rochester and welcome this consolidation in the City of Rochester.”
Syntec Optics claims to be North America’s largest polymer optics assembly and opto-mechanical component provider. Renovation and development of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility more than 85,000 sq. ft. in size, built on over 7 acres of land, allowed co-location of its polymer optics & optics assembly division with its optical mold, diamond turning optics, and optical coating division. Syntec’s affiliated opto-mechanicals division, Wordingham Technologies was also co-located. Offerings from all divisions can now be combined at the same location to make polymer optics assemblies for the full light spectrum.
“The consolidation has created powerful synergies for our cross-functional talent. This combined capability allows us to quickly assess and solve incredible difficult problems, creatively under one roof” said Steven Polvinen, President of Syntec Optics.
