Custom opto-electronic design and contract manufacturing for medical, defense, and industrial markets
Avo Photonics is a contract manufacturer and designer of optical and opto-electronic components, serving medical devices, aerospace, military, and industrial customers from a 41,000-sq-ft facility in Pennsylvania with 22,000 sq ft of cleanroom space. The active project list—automation of alignment tasks, fixture design, process yield optimization, and preventive maintenance planning—reflects a manufacturing operation focused on scaling volume while tightening process control; hiring velocity is accelerating with a heavy concentration in mid-level engineering and manufacturing roles, signaling investment in both capability and production capacity.
Founded in 2003, Avo Photonics designs and manufactures custom opto-electronic products and assemblies under contract for OEMs in medical, aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications sectors. The company operates a 41,000-sq-ft facility in Horsham, PA, with 22,000 sq ft of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified cleanroom space, plus an additional design center in Toronto. Avo is part of Halma plc's photonics division, alongside Labsphere, Ocean Optics, and Fluxdata. The service model centers on confidential custom design through full sub-system assembly, with engineering competencies spanning device design, package design for automation, and high-volume manufacturing. The organization currently operates at 51–200 employees.
