Introduction

 

Inrad Optics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Inrad Optics”), headquartered in Northvale, New Jersey, was incorporated in New Jersey in 1973. The Company develops, manufactures and markets products and services for use in photonics industry sectors via three distinct but complimentary product areas - "Crystals and Devices," "Custom Optics" and "Metal Optics." The Company is a vertically integrated manufacturer specializing in crystal-based optical components and devices, custom optical components from both glass and metal, and precision optical and opto-mechanical assemblies. Manufacturing capabilities include solution and high temperature crystal growth, extensive optical fabrication capabilities, including precision diamond turning and the ability to handle large substrates, optical coatings and provide in-process metrology.

 

Inrad Optics is committed to conflict free sourcing and complying with applicable laws affecting the Company’s industry. As such, the Company has worked to implement due diligence procedures in connection with the conflict minerals requirements of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Company’s Conflict Minerals Statement is publically available on its Internet website at: http://www.inradoptics.com/facility-capabilities/certifications-and-compliance
