Syntec Optics (NASDAQ: OPTX) Wins New Recurring Space Order as Space Economy Expands

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX), a leading provider of deep tech for the defense, space, AI data centers, and other vibrant end-markets, today announced a new order to build specialized high-tech waveguides for space satellites. After working on it for the past six months, Syntec is now ramping up to build and ship the product every week.

Syntec is making advanced antenna feeds that let satellites talk using several different channels, all at the same time. Usually, satellites need a whole bunch of different antennas, but when you work with some of the best talent in the nation as a customer, it is all done in one. However, for this to work, the inside has to be made into a shape with super-precise curves and tunnels so the signals don't get lost or scrambled in space. Every little curve and thickness has to be exact to make sure the communication is reliable and works perfectly in low Earth orbit.
