Syntec Optics secures new orders for LEO satellite optics

ROCHESTER, NY - Syntec Optics (NASDAQ:OPTX) announced Thursday it has secured additional orders for its ultra-high-precision Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite optics and plans to double weekly shipments for the remainder of 2025. The company, currently valued at $66 million, has seen its stock surge over 36% in the past week, though InvestingPro analysis indicates the shares are trading above their Fair Value.

The company will utilize its dedicated production cell to increase deliveries of the specialized components, according to the press release statement.

"Space Optics involve a complex process, and we are pleased to scale our advanced optics solutions for Low Earth Orbit satellites," said Syntec Optics CFO Dean Rudy.

The company indicated that its vertical integration capabilities will enable it to meet the increased demand quickly. Syntec’s manufacturing technology reportedly improves the range of space communications signals at high orbital velocities.

The firm noted that optical technology provides lower latency for satellite broadband compared to traditional radar-based systems, which could be advantageous in the expanding space sector.

Syntec Optics, headquartered in Rochester, NY, manufactures custom optics and photonics components for various industries including defense, biomedical, and communications. The company recently expanded its product offerings to include optics for LEO satellites, lightweight night vision goggles, biomedical applications, and data centers supporting artificial intelligence systems.

The announcement comes as industry analysts project significant growth in the satellite broadband segment of the global space economy over the next fifteen years.
