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.

Powering the future of Artificial Intelligence with clean, limitless energy! ⚡🔋

Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) is thrilled to announce a massive new wave of orders for our fusion energy optics—worth 7 times more than our initial orders last year!

Computers that run AI require a mind-boggling amount of electricity. To power them without hurting our communities or the environment, tech giants are turning to fusion energy. Unlike old-fashioned nuclear plants, fusion squeezes atoms together, meaning there is zero risk of meltdowns. Plus, it runs on ingredients found right in ocean water! 🌊

Our Rochester, NY team builds the hyper-accurate, mission-critical optics that act as "eyes" inside these record-breaking reactors, safely monitoring conditions that get hotter than the center of the sun.

With our AI data center orders officially topping $4 million, we are dedicating 5% of our entire factory capacity to help build this incredible clean energy future for the long haul.

Smart technology to protect those in harm's way. 🪖🇺🇸

Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) has officially added two new Artificial Intelligence-ready AR products to its defense lineup! We've received new orders to manufacture specialized, ballistic-grade display windows for U.S. military headsets—specifically focusing on advanced eye-tracking and specialized illumination.

Think of it like a smart video game HUD for the real world. By precisely tracking where a soldier is looking, the headset's built-in AI filters out unnecessary noise and highlights only the most critical information in real time (like detecting threats in a specific building). This prevents information overload, helping soldiers make faster, smarter, and safer decisions when every second counts.

"It is a privilege to collaborate with the nation's top defense tech talent to provide the precision optics necessary to transform the future of the warfighter," said Matt Carey, VP of New Business Development and a former Marine.
