Company

Advanced Photonix designs and manufactures advanced optoelectronics and electronic assemblies for various applications. These include spectroscopy, analytics, monitoring, test and measurement, communication, tracking, and imaging in aerospace and defense, medical and life sciences, industrial, and security markets.

With a history spanning more than 30 years, we have expanded through robust R&D and product development, worldwide expansion of our process capabilities and production facilities, and strategic acquisitions that broadened our portfolio.

Our Journey:

1967: The foundation that later became OSI Systems started with the establishment of United Detector Technology (UDT). UDT was established as one of the first Schottky and Planar Silicon Photodetectors and Optical Instruments manufacturers in the United States.

1987: Opto Sensors, Inc. was founded to design and manufacture a diverse selection of optoelectronic products for various applications.

1989: Opto Sensors Singapore was established to meet the growing market demand in Southeast Asia.

1990: Opto Sensors Inc. (OSI) acquired UDT to expand its product portfolio and increase its global market share. The newly established entity became UDT Sensors Inc. This significant move combined the skills and expertise of two leading companies in the photonics and optical sensor market while maintaining both brands.

1994: Opto Sensors Malaysia was established and added to the Company’s production capacity in Southeast Asia, as the region offered lower manufacturing costs and abundant technical resources.

1997: Opto Sensors, Inc. underwent significant growth, broadening our business portfolio. This led to the company rebranding itself as OSI Systems, Inc. and becoming a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ: OSIS.

2001: We further expanded our manufacturing footprint by establishing our operations in Hyderabad, India. This site remains a crucial location for medical product manufacturing and provides engineering infrastructure support for our global operations.

2003: OSI Optoelectronics acquired the LaserScan vehicle identification and classification business and AutoSense products and technologies.

2006: The various optoelectronics brands acquired over the years were rebranded as OSI Optoelectronics to emphasize core technology and customer relationships.

2011:  OSI Optoelectronics acquired Laser Diode Inc., a leading company in laser diode technology for Aerospace and Defense and other markets, expanding our product portfolio.

2018: OSI Optoelectronics acquired Advanced Photonix, adding 30 years of experience in photonics and optoelectronics. Advanced Photonix is renowned for developing Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPD) and other advanced optoelectronic solutions.

2020: OSI Optoelectronics acquired the assets of Semicoa, Inc., furthering our product portfolio with high-reliability semiconductor devices for military, defense, and space applications.
