Our History

Located in the middle of the UK, Vortex was founded in 2008. Our team has many years of experience in the photonics industry.

Vortex is an independently owned, successful company that has grown year on year. Through both our continual investment into new equipment and our dedicated staff we are able to keep our unique range of products, services and technologies to the highest standards.

 

Since Vortex was founded in 2008 we have worked on a whole variety of projects such as medical, gas and hydrocarbon detection, beamsplitter’s and dichroic’s for integrated systems, high and low volume anti-reflection coating a large proportion of which are with Original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s). Other projects we have been involved in include Formula 1 teams, A global leader in designer goods and leading tech giants.

We pride ourselves on delivering high quality optical coatings on short lead times in an industry where long lead times and late deliveries are far to common. To make this possible a large program of work was undertaken to design state of the art, fully automated deposition equipment to allow excellent repeatability and around the clock production. We also take great pride in outstanding customer service, going the extra mile to make sure that our customers are 100% satisfied. Our aim is quite simple, we will always support our customers especially when you really need us!
