New Jersey optics manufacturer opens branch here
Listen to this articleA New Jersey-based optical component manufacturer has opened a branch in Rochester.
Esco Optics Inc., based in Oak Ridge, N.J., has produced optics since 1955 and has a staff of 48. Esco products are used in UV, visible and IR applications in industries including defense, aerospace, biomedical, automotive and photonics.
The Rochester branch will be referred to as Esco North, and will allow the company to grow its relationships and serve current customers in the “hub of optics,” company officials said.
“This is exciting for everyone involved. As a top optics provider, this office gives us a stronger footprint within the fabric of Rochester,” business development manager Ron Schulmerich said in a statement. “It allows us to continue to foster great experiences with our customers and opens a more formal presence in the area.”
Michael Vergo joined Esco North in sales and business development in May, while Joelle Brunetto has joined the team as Esco’s sales operations manager.
The company recently completed a new manufacturing facility in Oak Ridge, N.J.
“We have over 60 years of optical heritage and we’re now positioned to grow our company and better serve our customers,” said Esco President Lee Steneken. “It is with great pride that we are able to launch Esco North. This expansion is all due in part by our team in Oak Ridge, N.J. We are a family that has stuck together because we love what we do. Our manufacturing capabilities continue to thrive in our new headquarters, and the addition of Esco North will be a vital component of our expanded service to all current and future customers, especially within the Rochester area.”
