Facilities and Capabilities
General Optics headquarters and manufacturing facilities
occupies over 50,000 square feet. All of our components are built from
raw material at these locations and, unlike other optical manufacturers,
we do not subcontract any of our core production processes. We believe that
the control of all manufacturing processes allows us to achieve the level
of quality our customers have come to expect.
A visit to our facilities reveals a wide array of manufacturing
capabilities for the production of cutting edge optical components.
