Supply Chain
The Optex supply chain extends throughout the world. We have built a seamless supply chain consisting of a series of activities, through which we can stably source reliable raw materials, carry out planned production, and use logistics to steadily and speedily deliver high-quality products to customers in over 80 countries around the world.
Procurement
Many of the optical parts that are integral to a product’s basic performance and the various sensors we use are special-order items, and so it is essential to work closely with suppliers in terms of sourcing the technology needed, etc. We are holding various activities such as meetings to discuss technology trends and other topics and technical networking events for engineers, which are aimed at improving the performance and quality of Optex products.
We are also working with suppliers and manufacturing outsourcers to reduce the environmental burden throughout the lifecycle of our products and services.
Production
Optex production sites operate using a safe and efficient production system. We carry out production of the products we’ve developed according to their designs, and in a factory environment that ensures we can achieve consistent quality. We have also set up systems for educating and training Optex personnel who are expertly skilled and have a high level of work ethics. We have also expanded our production technology capabilities to our EMS and ODM businesses, so that we can offer our customers full support for their manufacturing from development, design and procurement to mass production.
