History

In 1979, David Beach was introduced to the technology of dry edging by an inventor who was looking for investors. Realizing the technology's potential in the fast growing plastic lens arena, he purchased the patent and began production as National Optronics, Inc.

More than twenty years later, Optronics continues to improve on both the original technology and its application to lens processing equipment. The Company's history is marked by continued innovation and leadership.
