Cooperation is essential to sustaining a viable technology base. APOMA represents a broad constituency of precision optics manufacturers and the supporting industry, along with academic associates whose mutual interest is the advancement and expansion of optics manufacturing and technology. APOMA supports the common interests of its members, far more important than the small differences that have for too long fragmented the industry.
