Santec is one of the pioneering companies that defined the Optics Industry as it exists today. Over a twenty-two year period, Santec has made a series of strategic shifts to become one of the leaders in the optoelectronics business sectors. We developed a series of original optical products and have garnered the attention of users throughout the marketplace worldwide. Currently we are the supplier of choice to a number of Japanese manufacturers in the fields of communication equipment, electrical equipment and cabling.

The explosive growth of the Internet in the late 1990s served to speed the full-scale implementation of large-capacity, high-speed optical communication networks. The development of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology generated an even greater demand for key optical devices, and helped transform our optical components from mere research tools to practical devices offering quality sufficient to withstand the rigors of real-world use.

During this period we obtained an ISO 9001 certification and became recognized worldwide as a force in the realm of communications technology. Santec's products passed quality audits by Lucent Technologies, CIENA, Ericsson and others, and were incorporated in transmission devices by many of the world's most prominent manufacturers.
