Our Process and Capabilities

For more than thirty-five years, Optical Filters have been capitalizing on our extensive experience in optical design and development in order to continuously offer innovative solutions to improve and protect display function and durability.

Built on trust and dependability, our customer relationships are strong and collaborative from start to finish on each project.

What sets us apart:

  •  We're a local business in NW Pennsylvania, U.S.A, with the technical and manufacturing capability to deliver a reliable product next door—or across the globe. 
  •  Although bonding and EMI shielding technology are our specialties, we also offer a wide-ranging variety of other custom solutions to enhance, guard, and optimize your display or unit. 
  •  We have the ability to provide components or subassemblies in low or high volume quantities depending on customer preference.

Our processes deliver reliable technology with integrity.

In order to create exactly what our customers need, we assess the product requirements, we conduct a mutual technical discovery, define specifications and compliance, propose recommendations and qualify prototypes, seek approval for the product, and then manufacture. Even after production, we offer technical and quality support. Your requirements and our ideas and manpower together equal protection and clarity for your critical assets. 

Production

  • To support our objectives, meet our customers’ growing needs, and improve reliability, we continue to bring previously outsourced processes in-house by committing to expanding our manufacturing facilities in North America and the United Kingdom.
  • With the ability to handle a range of quantities, our production is flexible, built to order, and includes rapid prototyping alongside volume orders.
  • We continue to invest in new technologies and people to deliver quality, on-time display enhancement products and services.
