Edmund Optics and FISBA, a world leader in advanced optical systems and components have partnered to advance infrared glass molding capabilities. The new partnership combines FISBA’s innovative process engineering and production technologies in glass molding with Edmund Optics broad-based optical component, sales, and manufacturing expertise. Together, the two companies are extending quality mass production of molded optics into non-traditional materials, specifically for infrared lenses.https://cdn.specpick.com/molded_ir_glass.jpg712370

The joint effort will bring together the individual achievements of both companies in fabricating molded lenses from advanced materials, and the combination of their process technologies and their manufacturing and marketing expertise will lead directly to the availability of new IR optics in Edmund Optics’ standard product line and for customer projects in OEM-applications by either partner. These new IR optical components are ideally suited for life science applications such as thermal imaging, laser surgery and equally important for industrial and environmental applications in remote sensing and thermal imaging for detection and security.

FISBA is expanding on their leadership in ground breaking optics-molding technology, supplying consistent quality and high precision in medium- and large-sized lots at a competitive price. The investment into the partnership takes place in the US-based FISBA LLC in Tucson AZ, a subsidiary of FISBA.
