- Extreme environments: solarisation resistant, rad-hard, biocompatibility, extreme temperatures (from -273 °C to +1000 °C)…
We have a permanent stock of more than a hundred references of various optical fibers, and we have developed a strong expertise enabling us to choose the most appropriate optical fibers matching our customer’s applications.
Mainmilestones
The company SEDI-ATI Fibres Optiques is the result of the merger in 2012 of ATI Optique, established in 1951, and its sister company SEDI Fibres Optiques, established in 1972. In July 2016 J-F Vinchant Holding Strategy (JFV@HS), chaired by Jean-François VINCHANT, accompanied by IDF Capital, acquired SEDI-ATI Fibres Optiques. This acquisition not only pursues what was built by the founders but also aims at boosting a new dynamic in the optical fiber components market, especially for extreme environments and for medical applications, with a stronger focus on exportation. Seven years later, SEDI-ATI welcomes Yotta Capital Partners as a new investment fund and new major shareholder. A new holding company is born: FIBER OPTICS GROUP. This operation is part of our objective to ensure French sovereignty and independence. It also goes hand in hand with our desire to grow externally and meet the challenges of decarbonization.
