ELCAN Optical Technologies Capabilities

ELCAN Optical Technologies has a long-standing premier reputation in optics and a heritage that goes back 157 years to companies such as Leitz, Hughes Aircraft, Texas Instruments and Raytheon.  ELCAN’s track record is one of executing conventional wisdom with unconventional skill – the same wisdom and skill that is making the company a global destination for optoelectronic systems.

ELCAN’s international reputation can be largely attributed to our ability to consistently deliver high quality products and services to our customers.  Focused on low-variability manufacturing processes and continuous employee training, ELCAN’s quality management system is devoted to maximizing value in the eyes of our customers.  ELCAN has been monitoring and documenting our processes for nearly 60 years.  Through our years of experience, ELCAN’s efforts have led to the achievement of highly efficient production systems that optimize product yield through process repeatability.  Similarly, ELCAN’s commitment to employee training has created a complementary culture that understands the value of knowledge and embraces the need to eliminate all forms of waste from the production environment.  Certified apprenticeship programs, including North America’s only apprenticeship in thin film coating and other specialized training are used to maintain employee awareness of the latest manufacturing technologies.
