What FOCtek does
FOCtek (福建福特科光电股份有限公司 / Fujian Fute Optics Co., Ltd.) is a publicly traded Chinese precision optical components manufacturer headquartered in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, listed on China's NEEQ under ticker 833682. The company operates two main divisions: a Precision Optics Division producing aspherical lenses, spherical and achromatic lenses, cylindrical lenses, polarization optics (Glan Taylor, Glan Laser, Glan Thompson, Wollaston, Rochon polarizers), optical crystals (Nd:YAG, BBO, KTP, LiNbO3, YVO4), optical coatings (AR/HR/PR), diffraction gratings, prisms, mirrors, filters, beam splitters, glass wafers, optical assemblies, and flow cytometry chambers; and a Lens Optics Division producing 3MP–20MP HD fixed-focus and zoom security/surveillance lenses, 12MP intelligent transportation lenses, 5MP/10MP machine vision lenses, automotive lenses, and infrared lenses.
The company runs a vertically integrated manufacturing operation centered on the Sanming Foctek production base in Ninghua County — a 100-acre, 300M RMB-investment facility with 48,000 sqm of Phase 1 building area, 30 production lines, and monthly capacity of 500K lens elements and 80K complete lens modules — supported by the Shenzhen Foctek sales subsidiary and a workforce of design engineers using Zemax, Code V, and Solidworks. The company holds an unusually broad certification portfolio (ISO9001:2015, IATF16949:2016, ISO14001:2015, ISO13485:2016, ISO45001), all verified by SGS, qualifying it as a supplier across industrial, automotive, and medical optics markets. It also acts as the China distributor for CODIXX AG's colorPol dichroic glass polarizers.
FOCtek generates revenue through B2B direct sales (quote-based pricing, no public price list) of components and sub-assemblies across six primary verticals: security/surveillance, industrial/precision instruments, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, automotive electronics, and industrial laser/optical communications. Distribution combines direct export sales to North America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea with domestic sales via the Shenzhen subsidiary and trade show lead generation at major international photonics exhibitions (SPIE Photonics West, LASER-World of Photonics Munich, Frankfurt Photonics, CMEF, CIOE). The Shenzhen Foctek subsidiary alone exceeds 100M RMB in annual sales, though consolidated company revenue is not publicly disclosed.
