Edmund Optics opens new assembly and design facility
Edmund Optics, a provider of optical and imaging components, has opened a new Assembly and Advanced Design Facility in Tucson, Arizona, the second Edmund Optics location in the state.
This 21,225 square feet facility will support the company's advanced design efforts and high-volume manufacturing services, including cleanroom assembly and incoming inspection with numerous testing capabilities such as MTF, straylight, thermal cycle, shock, and vibration.
"We are pleased to be able to now provide additional design and assembly services for our customer's most demanding and complex applications," says Greg Hollows, Vice President of Edmund Optics' Imaging Business Unit, in a press release.
In addition, new technology jobs will be created in Tucson. "This new facility will allow Edmund Optics to build a larger collaborative partnership with Arizona Optics Initiative (AOI) and the Arizona Technology Council (AZTC)," adds Robert Edmund, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "It solidifies our commitment to Tucson and AZTC Optics Valley initiatives."
This facility has already hired six new engineers and plans to add additional technical and skilled assembly talent over the course of this year.
