Optical Gaging Products

What Optical Gaging Products does

Optical Gaging Products (OGP) is a Rochester, NY-based manufacturer of high-accuracy dimensional metrology systems and a division of privately held Quality Vision International (QVI). Founded in 1945, OGP pioneered the integration of vision, touch-probe, and laser sensors into a single measurement platform and now self-describes as the world's largest vision metrology company. Its product portfolio spans the SmartScope family of multisensor systems (M-Series, E-Series, Quest/Vantage, SP), Fusion large field-of-view systems, FlexPoint multisensor coordinate measuring machines, StarLite and SNAP video measuring systems, Contour Projectors and c-vision optical comparators, ShapeGrabber 3D laser scanners, and TurnCheck shaft measurement systems, complemented by ZONE3 and Measure-X metrology software and the EVOLVE productivity suite. Sensor and accessory lines include IntelliCentric patented optics, tactile and laser probes, rotary indexers, and comparator accessories.

OGP sells exclusively through a global network of factory-trained Authorized Representatives covering North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, supported by a flagship demo showroom in Rochester and wholly-owned regional entities including QVI India and OGP Services (the ISO 17025-accredited field service and calibration division). Revenue is generated through capital equipment sales, recurring software licenses (ZONE3, EVOLVE), and service/maintenance agreements. Target customers are enterprise manufacturers in aerospace, automotive/EV, medical devices, engineering, plastics, energy, and government/mint applications where 100% inspection and tight tolerances are required.

The business is led by Keith E. Polidor (President and CEO of QVI) and Panos Angelopoulos (President of Global Sales at OGP). OGP holds US patents on its IntelliCentric-M and IntelliCentric optical systems, and parent QVI is ISO 9001:2015 registered. Recent strategic activity includes the Rochester New Building 4 expansion, launches of the SmartScope M-Series and StarLite S1, and active participation in global trade shows such as IMTS 2026, EMAX 2026, JIMTOF 2026, and Medical Manufacturing Asia.
