EvolvOptic Facility Expansion
EvolvOptic has announced the relocation and expansion of its Rochester manufacturing operations, consolidating the legacy Advanced Glass Industries and GlassFab facilities into a new unified site. The move strengthens production capacity, improves operational efficiency, and supports future growth in optical glass and precision component manufacturing.
We are pleased to share an important milestone in EvolvOptic’s continued growth.
Effective March 31, 2026, EvolvOptic will begin operating from a new, expanded manufacturing facility in Rochester, New York. As part of this transition, we are bringing together our two Rochester heritage operations, formerly Advanced Glass Industries (AGI) and GlassFab, into one larger, unified site.
This move is more than a change of address. It is a strategic investment in the future of our manufacturing operations and in the customers we serve. By consolidating these legacy capabilities under one roof, we are strengthening collaboration across teams, improving workflow efficiency, increasing production capacity, and creating the infrastructure needed to support future capability expansion.
NEW ADDRESS effective March 31, 2026:
EvolvOptic
1390 Mount Read Blvd.
Rochester, NY 14606
This transition has been carefully planned to maintain business continuity and uphold the quality, precision, and responsiveness you expect from EvolvOptic. Your current points of contact, purchasing process, and contractual agreements will remain unchanged unless you are contacted directly.
We are proud of this next step and grateful for the trust and partnership of customers like you, whose support has helped make this growth possible. This new facility creates room not only for greater scale, but for the next phase of EvolvOptic’s evolution. We look forward to sharing more updates in the months ahead.
In the meantime, please update your records with our new address. If there are manufacturing capabilities, process enhancements, or future investments you would like EvolvOptic to consider, we would welcome that feedback as we continue to grow.
We thank you for your continued partnership and encourage you to contact us directly with any questions regarding the transition.
