Milestones
1997
Tecport Optics was formed in 1997 as a Florida corporation to serve the thin film industry. The company’s founders recognized the industry’s need of a manufacturer who can provide custom built systems with guaranteed process results. Since then, Tecport has grown from a two person operation to a 20+ person operation with world wide recognition.
2003
In 2003, Tecport, partnered with a Fortune 500 company, developed coating for the DLP (Digital Light Processing) window. It has been estimated that about 70% of DLP windows world market, used in such products as Projectors and Televisions, are coated by Tecport systems.
2004
From 2004, Tecport developed modular style PVD system, called the Symphony series, to serve the industry with better tools and solutions. Tecport has been very successful with this product line, winning multiple contracts from major corporations.
2005
In 2005, Tecport provided the coating industry with the new High Density Plasma Source, allowing its customers to achieve the highest performance coatings possible at the most consistent rate.
Equipped with HD plasma, Tecport achieved non-absorbing 3 to 5 um infrared coating, using oxide coating materials instead of the traditional flouride coating materials. Oxide materials improve the mechanical properties of the film, meaning better adhesion and abrasion resistance, without sacrificing performance.
2008
In 2008, Tecport designed, developed, and manufactured a 2500mm diameter system for Solar Industry. The system allows the customer to fully utilize HD plasma technology to enhance the their existing solar coating.
In the same year, Tecport developed an industry first continuous rotary target system for a load-lock ion beam sputtering system. This development improves yield on target utilization and consistence of coating.
2010
Currently, Tecport is co-developing the 1st cold plasma coating system in the world. This system will allow for high density, high packing coating at a very low process temperature. It will revolutionize the plastic coating industry.
