At Stefan Sydor Optics, the past and the present form a powerful partnership to build the future. Founded over 40 years ago, by Stefan Sydor, a pioneer in the optical field, the company has built its reputation on a solid foundation of traditional craftsmanship coupled with gutsy innovation.

Palomar Observatory’s 200-inch telescope mirror to the worldwide installation of the Baker-Nunn Satellite Tracking Network, Sydor was at the forefront of the optical experts of his generation.
Today his son Jim Sydor, who is developing Sydor Optics to meet the challenges of tomorrow, carries on Sydor’s legacy.
