OPTX Syntec Optics Holdings Inc

Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX), a leading supplier of scientific and technical instruments and defense and aerospace optics to mission-critical OEMs, today announced $2.8M million in orders for high-precision opto-mechanical components and subsystems used in the production of the latest night vision goggles used by US defense. Delivery is scheduled for 2024.

The initial development and early production orders of the latest night vision goggles for the US defense start in 2018. Since then, Syntec Optics, with its low-weight optics, began contributing to the system.

“I am excited to see how the Syntec Optics team has continued to deliver opto-mechanical components and sub-assemblies in the innovative dual-tubed binocular system for improved situational awareness and depth perception,” said Joe Mohr, CEO of Syntec Optics.

“The team here appreciates the opportunity to contribute to a device with a fused thermal imager for added infrared spectral content,” said Sara Hart, Sales Director at Syntec Optics.

The latest night vision goggle orders are ongoing as the US defense is actively fielding these systems, with multiple orders for continued production and delivery.
