Experience the Technical Advantage of
Fiber Optic Center

“We’ve worked with Fiber Optic Center for about 20 years and continue to find great value in their expertise and services. More recently, our engagements with Larry Donalds and Rick Tuminelli have saved us considerable time and money and have improved our lathe operations and process knowledge."

“I would like to give feedback regarding the analysis we did with Fiber Optic Center’s polishing papers. We did really detailed analysis and can confirm, that ÅngströmLap Ultimas lapping film has better performance in terms of number of reuse and we also observed less residue after polishing during visual inspection. We were able to reduce the number of retries on the visual inspection by more than a half as well as the number of connectors being repolished. The reduction of the extra cost on these operations will overbalance the cost of the papers...”

“I am very pleased with the years of good help and quick reactions of Fiber Optic Center. As we are located in the Netherlands we have a lot of contact with your Dutch employees being Erwin Gelderblom and Marcel Buijs. Both are friendly and always eager in helping us. Furthermore, the most contact is with Ethan Weiss who handles the quotations. Also, Ethan is always of good help and replies rather quickly. Overall we are satisfied with Fiber Optic Center as our professional distributor for Fiber Optics items, tools, equipment, and knowledge.”

“Due to the pandemic, in-place calibrations have become difficult, so until the virus is under control, FOC provided Furukawa Brazil with the following helpful solution: They sent a calibration kit and gave us detailed instructions and online support to perform the task. The connection of the calibration kit with the Module that will be calibrated is aided by the support and documents very well explained..."

“We encountered an unexpected problem during the last step in our process development and the FOC was quick to help us find an effective solution. I contacted the FOC to discuss our options and they had their recommended product in my hands the next day.”

“I approached Fiber Optic Center because we were having a problem getting consistent results with our connector polishing process. Paul, who handles my account, told me that he would see if he could get one of the outside guys to stop by and take a look. Within a week, Dan was in my office, working hand in hand with our operators to figure out the problem. Dan stayed late that evening, and even came back the next morning to put a process in place that greatly improved our process and yield! We saw an immediate improvement in both quality and efficiency..."

“An Edmund stage for adjusting the height on our Sagitta Laser cleaver broke. Erwin stripped down his demo machine back home in the Netherlands and expressed the part up to us with instructions from the manufacturer on how to replace it. We were up running again faster than we really could expect. That kind of service and support is what makes me keep coming back to FOC.”

“Rosenberger Brazil has had FOC as a supplier for many years. They have an excellent team and excellent product quality. Everything that we need we go first to them: consumables, equipment, tools. But their support in process, information about new consumables or technologies in the market is the quality we love more. It’s very easy to deal with them. After many years of excellent relationship, we got more than a good supplier, we have good friends..."

“My experience with Fiber Optic Center has been supportive and value added in the challenges that we encounter at AFSI. The product listing and knowledge base of the staff of FOC has established a quality organization.”

“I have had a long, wonderful relationship with the personnel at FOC. They are extremely professional and customer service minded. On one occasion we had difficulty with a particular machine’s performance. We contacted them, and they were quick to respond and to advocate for us with the factory to remedy the issues. Mario and David especially were attentive to our needs, and were not satisfied till we were happy with the results. Their competency and knowledge of the industry is also superb. They are my ‘go to’ default for equipment technology and industry trends.”

“We at Power Technology greatly appreciate your candor and follow-up with our problem. It was very refreshing to add a vendor (to a very short list) that was straightforward with a problem resolution, instead of offering up a magical solution to an imaginary problem. Well done”

In case of any device, technology, or problem which we would like to discuss with the experts, we can turn to Erwin and his colleagues.

Based on the fact that Erwin is located in Europe we can count on very quick feedback and support..."

“CommScope has sincere appreciation for the help and support FOC’s entire team as provided us over the past few years. FOC has gone out of their way to help us not only with excellent advice on selection of equipment, accessories and consumables, but also with process development, yield improvement and failure analysis.
