WATERTOWN, MA -- Dynasil Corporation of America, a developer and manufacturer of optics and photonics products and components for the homeland security, medical and industrial markets, announced that its Evaporated Metal Films Corporation ("EMF") subsidiary has acquired substantially all the assets of DichroTec Thin Films, LLC, ("DichroTec") a Rochester, NY-based optical thin film coating manufacturer.
"We are very pleased to be able to add the expertise and capabilities of DichroTec to EMF and Dynasil," said Peter Sulick, Dynasil's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President.

"The additional expertise and facilities, in concert with EMF's commitment to continuous improvement and superior customer service, will greatly enhance our ability to meet the needs of our current and future customers. Now with two centers of manufacturing excellence, we will vastly increase our capacity to meet the growing demand for high volume products at our Rochester facility, while expanding our ability to provide custom coating solutions at our site in Ithaca."
