Syntec Optics has unveiled a new clean room at its Pavilion location. The company, located at 7100 Junction Road, is the largest independent manufacturer of custom polymer optics in North America.
The A-Class 10,000 sq. foot clean room at this facility will be used for assembly and testing of precision polymer and glass optical systems that are highly sensitive to particles in the environment.
“Not only will the new clean room allow us to continue to deliver exceptional quality on current projects, we now have the capabilities to take on new projects that require the purest of production and testing processes," said Lori Steffenilla, VP of manufacturing operations.
"This is especially key for us as we continue to grow in the medical, biometrics and defense industries where precision, superior function and reliability are critical.”
The in-house clean room is the latest in a long line of advancements and creates new opportunities for Syntec to expand its customer base. It strengthens the firm’s ability to provide a complete range of contract-manufacturing services including design, molding, diamond turning, assembly, metrology and supply-chain management.
“We are always looking for ways to improve and enhance both our processes and capabilities which allow us to continue to deliver the excellence that our customers have always expected from Syntec and more," said Rick Arndt, vice president and general manager.
"The addition of clean-room capabilities is another step in the process of continuous improvement."
Syntec Optics has been widely recognized as the industry leader in the polymer optics field. Syntec was the recipient of the prestigious 2008 North American Polymer Optics Growth Excellence of the Year Award.
