Core focus delivers optical thin film excellence
ACG offers extraordinary levels of expertise on optical thin film design, application, and execution. We encourage our customers to include us early in the design process so that we can support each stage of a project. This leads to fewer false starts and a less expensive, more effective system. However, we can step in at any stage of work. Our engineers often evaluate current optical thin film designs to determine how they can be advanced to meet changing customer objectives. Regardless of the advances that you're after—cost reduction, increased performance, speed of reaction, change in components, or improvements along the supply chain, ACG can make recommendations on a host of business and technical concerns.

Responsiveness, service, and quality
ACG has one of the largest production optical coating facilities in the world in terms of coater size and machine hour availability. That means every project can be executed to meet your delivery requirements. This, coupled with our breadth of expertise, allows us to offer innovative solutions at competitive prices.
