Teledyne Acquires Optimum Optical Systems, Inc.
POSTED 06/16/2010
THO
Optimum Optical manufactures custom lenses and optomechanical assemblies for the infrared, visible and ultraviolet spectrums. Optimum Optical’s products are primarily used in tactical military imaging systems found on a variety of defense platforms, including a number of small UAV systems. Following the acquisition, Optimum Optical Systems, Inc. will change its name to Teledyne Optimum Optical Systems, Inc.
"The acquisition of Optimum Optical further expands Teledyne's capabilities and product offerings in tactical infrared imaging systems," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Teledyne. "Specifically, Optimum Optical’s capabilities in lens and optomechanical systems are strategically positioned between the focal plane array, detector subsystem and camera products of Teledyne Imaging Sensors and Teledyne Judson Technologies, and the complete inertially-stabilized gimbal systems designed and manufactured by Optical Alchemy, Inc., in which we acquired a minority interest in March 2010."
Teledyne Technologies is a leading provider of sophisticated electronic subsystems, instrumentation and communication products, engineered systems, aerospace engines, and energy and power generation systems. Teledyne Technologies’ operations are primarily located in the United States, the United Kingdom and Mexico. For more information, visit Teledyne Technologies’ website at www.teledyne.com.
