Founded in 1957, Cosmo Optics is involved primarily in prototypes of optical components and assemblies for industrial and scientific use.
Small-scale production is also frequently undertaken. Cosmos’ wide range of facilities enables fabrication, testing and assembly of the most intricate optics, including components from glass, quartz, crystals, ceramics and plastic materials for the UV, VIS and IR regions, as well as various metals.
