The company announced the recent sale of Navitar Coating Labs, located in Newport Beach, California. The decision was made to sell the coatings division based on the success of Navitar’s recent acquisition of Special Optics, a Wharton, New Jersey firm, which has quadrupled the company’s optical design capabilities and expanded the in-house optical coating capabilities. The company’s growth began one year ago with the purchase of Special Optics, a firm specializing in the optical design and rapid prototyping of complete electro-optical systems. Additional optical design personnel were added at both the Special Optics facilities and Navitar’s Rochester, New York headquarters.
