BRATTLEBORO, Vt., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Omega Optical
Holdings, LLC, (Omega or the Company), a leading precision optics
platform backed by Artemis Capital Partners (Artemis), announced
today that it has completed the acquisition of Evaporated Metal
Films Corp. (EMF) and Optometrics Corporation (Optometrics) from
Dynasil Corporation of America, Inc.
"We are very pleased to welcome the EMF and Optometrics teams to
Omega," commented Dr. Michael J.
Cumbo, President and CEO of Omega. "Each business provides
Omega with unique proprietary capabilities and coating-enabled
products that complement our strategic focus on serving the most
challenging optical applications in high-growth markets. The
impressive scale of EMF's thin-film deposition chambers
dramatically increases our ability to offer precision coatings for
large optics with diameters up to 2.7 meters. Optometrics brings a
unique combination of ruled, holographic, replicated, and filtered
diffraction gratings that are highly valued, particularly in
applications where compactness, efficiency, and precise wavelength
selectivity are required."
Evaporated Metal Films
Founded in 1936, EMF was the
first company in the United States
to offer thin-film coatings to commercial customers. For over 80
years, EMF has continually expanded and refined its capabilities to
deliver custom precision optical coatings for large area
mission-critical applications. EMF has built a reputation for
excellent product quality, superior customer service, and technical
solutions in support of their customers demanding time-to-market
requirements. EMF supplies tier-one customers in the aerospace,
defense, industrial, medical, and dental markets.
EMF joins Omega's Thin-Film Filters operating division and will
also play a key role in the platform's nascent Laser Optics
division. The Thin-Film Filters division manufactures products that
are engineered to control the transmission, reflection, and
absorption of light in mission-critical optical applications
including flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy,
LiDAR, machine vision, and satellite imaging for global OEM
customers in the life science, aerospace, defense, instrumentation,
semiconductor, and industrial sensor markets.
"The team at EMF is excited to take the next step in our
journey. As part of the Omega family, EMF will be even better
positioned to provide innovative solutions for our current and
future customers," remarked EMF President, Paul Schulz. "Through our defining customer
value proposition, the EMF Edge, we will continue to provide
exemplary customer service as we transition smoothly to our new
environment."
Optometrics

supplier of wavelength selection solutions including standard and
custom optical components and pre-aligned sub-assemblies. The
company's core technologies include mechanical ruling, holographic
recording, photolithography, and optical thin-film coatings. From
diffraction gratings to polarizers, beamsplitters to
monochromators, and anti-reflection coatings to filters, it
maintains an excellent reputation for designing and supplying high
quality, spectrally precise products. Optometrics serves blue-chip
OEM customers in the life science, analytical instrumentation,
aerospace, semiconductor, and defense markets.
Optometrics joins Omega's Diffractive Optics operating division.
The Diffractive Optics division designs and fabricates products
that control the phase and amplitude of light, facilitating
mission-critical wavelength selective optical applications
including material processing, spectroscopy, laser protection, and
analytical instrumentation for global OEM customers in the life
science, aerospace, defense, instrumentation, semiconductor,
environmental and industrial sensor markets.
"The entire Optometrics team is excited about the
opportunity to become part of the Omega family," expressed
Optometrics General Manager, Dave
Montgomery. "We remain focused and committed to continuing
to supply our customers with high quality, on-time products. The
additional applications, product knowledge and market awareness
Omega brings will benefit our customers and employees alike."
