Lefrois Builders and Developers have been hard at work on the recent expansion of Optimax System’s Precision Manufacturing Expansion. Their current facility, located in Wayne Country, will be doubled as Lefrois adds an additional 60,000 feet to their building. The expansion is estimated to be completed in 2024.
Optimax manufactures components for fiber optic telecommunications, solid-state lighting, digital photography, displays and diagnostic medicine, and has done work in the realms of aerospace, government research, and defense. One of their more notable projects was the design and manufacturing of the lenses on the Mars rover for NASA.
The new expansion will allow the company to support its technological and employee growth as one of the United States’ most notable players in high-precision optics.
The $21 million facility expansion will add over 60 jobs over the next 5 years, creating career pathways that are purposeful, satisfying, and rewarding, and bringing highly technical jobs to the Rochester area.
