BOULDER, Colo., March 19, 2010 — REO, maker of thin-film coatings, optics and optomechanical assemblies for the ultraviolet, visible and infrared, announced record-breaking sales of more than $30 million in 2009, making it the best year since the company's founding in 1993. These figures represent a 28 percent gain over 2008 and give the company a compound annual growth rate of more than 16 percent over six years. REO entered 2010 with the largest backlog in its history.

“There are three key elements that have enabled us to prosper despite the overall downturn in the economy,” said CEO Terry L. Moshier. “First, we added substantial manufacturing capabilities, especially in the infrared, giving us access to a larger market. Second, we’ve developed new technologies in coating, fabrication and assembly, which enable us to cost-effectively manufacture high-precision products in high volume. And, perhaps most important, we’ve focused on providing value-added engineering, which helps us win more orders and also allows us to avoid competing on price alone.”

REO services primarily medium- to high-volume OEMs, including producers of defense and aerospace systems, laser systems, semiconductor tools, medical systems, life sciences instrumentation and telecom equipment.

Glossary
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
ultraviolet
That invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelengths range from 1 to 400 nm.
