Michigan-based EOTECH has opened a new Tech Center in Orofino, Idaho, to support growth and development. 

Over the past decade, EOTECH has experienced exceptional growth through its diversification into magnified scopes, micro red-dots, night-vision and thermal systems, and on-gun laser devices. To support these programs and future growth, this new state-of-the-art workspace will provide research and development, engineering design and sustainment, testing, and prototype capabilities for all EOTECH product categories.

“We are thrilled to open our new Tech Center in Orofino, an area that will be the conduit between our headquarters in Michigan and our sensor factory in California,” said Aaron Hampton, president of product development for EOTECH.  “This facility provides us with the talent and opportunity to plan the growth initiatives for the company's next phase of our development. We strive to inspire new technology-driven solutions, and this investment will accelerate innovation and the development of new solutions for our core and emerging markets.”  

Officially opened February 26, 2025, this 4,200-square-foot facility includes a sophisticated optics lab outfitted with cleanroom flow hoods, optical breadboard, collimators, high purity nitrogen, and various tools to assemble, test, and rework weapon sights and camera systems.  The mechanical lab includes small scale machining, an inspection area with granite table plus a physical and optical metrology system. 

The company also added a new manufacturing center that develops cutting edge digital sensor systems in 2022.
