Over our history, Thorlabs has invested heavily in the infrastructure and capital equipment needed to manufacture the majority of products we sell. These in-house manufacturing capabilities also give us the freedom to develop OEM solutions. Consequently, we are able to partner with you, not only during the concept phase when one traditionally buys a basket of items in small quantities, but also when you reach full production and need a partner capable of manufacturing quantities of select items to exact specifications that can be called off as needed.
