The products and systems produced by these groups use various optical techniques for measuring displacement, surface shape, and texture. Applications for our metrology products are diverse, and include precision machining, optical manufacturing, and semiconductor manufacturing, as well as many others. Our Optics business segment is comprised of two major groups: Electro-Optics and Optical Components. These groups leverage Zygo's expertise in optical design and assembly, and high-volume manufacturing of precision optical components and systems, for aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial applications. Founded in 1970, and headquartered in Middlefield, Connecticut, USA, Zygo's global operations are supported by over 500 dedicated and highly-skilled individuals around the world.

The world’s largest metrology company was founded in 1934 by Yehan Numata with one product – the micrometer. Mitutoyo’s philosophy at that time was to make the best mechanical micrometer in the world. But also to produce them in quantities that made them affordable and available to all of manufacturing so they could improve the quality of the products they manufactured. This philosophy was expanded in the next several decades to include a wider product offering focused on mechanical, dimensional gaging products. Mitutoyo focused its R&D and production efforts on creating the most advanced micrometers, calipers, indicators and other measurement tools in the world. Mitutoyo America Corporation is a sales, marketing, and most importantly a service organization that was established in the United States by Mitutoyo Corporation in 1963. Since day one of operations, supporting custom- ers has been the first priority. Initially we provided replacement parts and repair services. As our customer base grew, so did customer service demands. In response we built one of the highest performance A2LA Accredited Calibration Laboratory’s (A2LA Certificate #750-01) in the nation. Now we offer turnkey metrology solutions and even integrate measuring directly into manufacturing processes via inline automation. Mitutoyo America is also the first service organization to have A2LA Accredited Field Service Technicians. State-of-the-art M3 Solution Centers are geographically positioned to cover the United States. Local software design and development translates into well resourced software support. We also provide education and training through the Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology. Overall, Mitutoyo America Corporation is configured to provide our customers with all the competitive advantages that result from application of best practice metrology.

In 1880, Laroy S. Starrett invented and made the world's first combination square in Athol, MA U.S.A. For over 140 years. thousands of employees and millions of precision tools, gages, and saw blades later, The L.S. Starrett Company continues to manufacture tools not only at its Athol headquarters but also in facilities across the U.S.A., and around the world.
