British Optical Ltd. has the reputation for the manufacture of a wide variety of high quality precision components manufactured by rod moulding.

Today our rod moulded components are used for complex and demanding optical and engineering applications. Our moulding operations are supported by finishing processes such as profiling, grinding, polishing and coating. These facilities have been developed to satisfy the demand for more precise components, whilst at the same time providing a higher volume order service at competitive prices.

Our constantly evolving expertise is a key factor in our ability to meet the changing requirements of new technology. Our growth in worldwide sales is a testament to this.
