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.
