Syntec Optics Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) ia an American optics and photonics manufacturing company located in Rochester, NY. ft.

Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) is an American optics and photonics manufacturing company located in Rochester, NY. The company develops, manufactures, and assembles custom optical solutions for defense & security, medical, and virtual reality applications. The company was originally started as Syntec in 1981. In 1997 Boston-based entrepreneur, Al Kapoor started acquiring Syntec with its other affili

ates and founded Syntec Optics. Its customers include leading multinationals, innovative defense contractors, and pioneering start-ups. Syntec Optics pioneered polymer optics that allowed plastics to replace glass as an effective, bio-compatible, and less expensive solution for optics. New nano-technology techniques like HRDT (High Refraction Diamond Turning) for newly invented highly engineered resins further enabled radical innovations that led to dramatic reduction in product costs - as high as 50% in some cases. In 2016, the White House declared Optics and Photonics as America’s competitive advantage globally. Syntec Optics was a key partner of the team invited for the new Rochester NY Photonics Institute announcement at the White House led by the Research Foundation of the State University of New York (RF SUNY). Syntec Optics has created hundreds of new jobs in Rochester, NY. Syntec Optics has become 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. in size, built on over 7 acres of land, has allowed co-location of its polymer optics and optics assembly division with its optical mold, diamond turning optics, and optical coating division. Syntec’s affiliated opto-mechanicals division called Wordingham Technologies has also co-located. Offerings from all divisions are combined at the same location in City of Rochester NY to make plastic optics assemblies for the full light spectrum. Lens, prisms, mirrors, and other optics components can be combined within optical barrels and housings for various geometries ranging from diffractives to aspheres.

Big news! 🇺🇸 Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) has just secured a $2 million order to build ultra-precise micro cameras for the U.S. military’s next-generation Augmented Reality systems.

These aren't just any cameras. They are nanoscale sensors designed to feed into AI systems, giving our troops a "superhuman ability" to see a real-time 3D map of the battlefield.

Matt Carey, our VP of Business Development and a former U.S. Marine, emphasized how critical this precision is: “If these micro cameras are not ultra-precise to a nanoscale, the AR imagery may appear unhinged, causing sickness."

We are incredibly proud to manufacture these mission-critical components entirely in the USA, ensuring our armed forces have the best, most secure technology in the world.

At Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX), we have always been committed to American manufacturing. Now, the newly signed FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is making domestic production a national priority.

The new law requires the U.S. military to eliminate its reliance on optical systems from adversary nations by 2030. Because we design, coat, machine, and assemble our mission-critical optical systems right here in the United States, Syntec is perfectly positioned to help defense contractors secure their supply chains and meet these new national security goals.

We are stepping up to provide our armed forces with the high-performance technology they need for modern combat environments.
