Syntec Optics Secures $5.2 Million in Defense Orders for Advanced Night Vision Technology
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX), a prominent supplier of high-tech optical solutions for defense, biomedical, communications, and consumer sectors, has proudly announced that it has successfully secured orders amounting to nearly $5.2 million this year. These orders are specifically aimed at providing optics and optomechanical components necessary for the latest generation of advanced night vision goggles utilized by U.S. defense forces, significantly enhancing the safety of soldiers in the field.
One of the key innovations offered by Syntec is its mission-critical optics technology, which plays a crucial role in making helmet-mounted goggles lighter. This reduction in weight is vital as it helps to alleviate neck trauma experienced by soldiers during extended use of these high-tech devices.
In what can be considered a robust start to the fiscal year, Syntec has already delivered approximately $0.9 million worth of products. The company is poised to continue building on its multi-year involvement in this essential defense initiative, with a history of supplying low-weight, high-performance optical solutions since the initial development stages began back in 2018. The recent orders, amounting to nearly $5.2 million in 2025 alone, not only underscore Syntecs expanded role within this sector but also highlight the companys commitment to delivering a comprehensive suite of products that are vital for the advanced binocular systems. These systems are known for their capacity to enhance situational awareness and incorporate fused thermal imaging capabilities, which are critical in modern warfare scenarios.
Matt Carey, the head of Business Development and Delivery at Syntec Optics, expressed enthusiasm regarding the ongoing demand for these critical night vision technologies. We are pleased to see continued strong demand for this critical night vision program, he noted. This demonstrates the ongoing trust placed in Syntec's ability to deliver products that meet the rigorous performance standards required for national defense.
Adding to this sentiment, Mike Ransford, the Site Leader at Syntec Optics, remarked on the consistency of the order inflow. The consistent order flow, now totaling close to $5.2 million this year, corresponds with the active fielding and sustained need for these advanced night vision capabilities, he explained. Our ability to provide a broad spectrum of products, from foundational optics to complex sub-assemblies, positions Syntec as a comprehensive partner for this long-term program.
