Video surveillance equipment maker Optelecom-NKF Inc. announced Monday it will sell its Electro Optics coil manufacturing business to Nufern for $1.4 million.

The Electro Optics unit makes fiber optic gyroscope coils, primarily for the US government. Nufern, a subsidiary of Rofin-Sinar technologies, manufactures fiber optics products, including gyroscope fibers and fiber lasers and amplifiers.

Selling the unit will allow Optelecom-NKF to focus on its key business, the company said.

"This transaction will ensure the continuity and customer focus of this important technology," said Dave Patterson, president and CEO of Optelecom-NKF.

Under the terms of the agreement, Optelecom-NKF will receive $1.15 million at the closing of the transaction, with the balance of $250,000 held in escrow, subject to completion of a technology transfer.
