SVC TechCon 2023
Washington D.C | May 6-11, 2023
Thank you Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) for hosting such a successful week in DC! Marcy & Dr. Oliver were able to bring a group of engineers to explore the exhibit and get a better understanding of other companies in the industry. We were so excited to have both of Jim's kids at the conference to promote the family business! See you next year in Chicago!

Dr. Oliver and Head of Sales and Marketing Marcy Oliver had had a great time at Photonics West at the end of January. They were able to meet with new customers and experience the huge exhibit SPIE put together. It was a very cool experience seeing so many optics and photonics companies from all over the world in one convention center. We are excited to announce we will be exhibiting next year at the show and hope to see you there!
