is now
As the dynamic optics industry continues to evolve at lightning speed, the company that has been trusted for optical component blanks for more than 75 years — Advanced Glass Industries (AGI) — is also growing and innovating and has been rebranded as EvolvOptic.
​​
We are shaping the future together with our collaborators and customers. We plan to significantly grow our capacity and capabilities for blank manufacturing in 2025. The same experienced team that made our company a respected leader in our field remains on the frontlines, keeping production humming and delivering an array of high-quality components. We are proud and honored to be your partner for optical component needs and best-value solutions for customer priorities, including cost, schedule, and assured quality.
A vision for growing our capacity and capabilities
EvolvOptic’s vision for a flourishing future has been set in motion under our president, Ted Mooney, PhD., who brought to the company many years in aerospace and defense, as well as an immense respect for the AGI legacy, when he joined our team in fall 2023.
​
The forecast ahead for 2025 is bright, with a plan for strategically growing
capacity and capabilities. We have begun expansion into large, complex optical
components by pulling together the right team, the right technology, and the right methods to provide best-value solutions to ground-based and space-based imaging, semiconductor industry, and high energy optics, such as laser fusion and directed energy.
​
We are strengthening our commitment to our customers through enhanced production management and quality control processes and are now offering R&D and system-level consulting to provide our customers with innovative optical solutions. The EvolvOptic leadership team working alongside Mooney includes Jim Jones, CEO; Alicia Gionta and Brandon Derleth, sales account managers; Anne Marino Himes, strategy manager; Danny Mulligan, operations manager; and Phil Martin, quality control manager.
