New Focus wants to take advantage of telecom
providers' new focus on fiber-optic networks.
The company makes fiber amplifiers,
wavelength management equipment, and
optoelectronics that boosts the capacity and
speed of networks, plus laser modules and
photonics tools used in the manufacture and
testing of fiber-optic gear and networks. New
Focus sells directly and through distributors to
optical networking suppliers such as Agilent,
Alcatel, Corning, JDS Uniphase, Nortel
Networks, and Pirelli. Nearly three-quarters of
its sales come from the US. New Focus is
boosting manufacturing capacities in China.
Co-founder and chairman Milton Chang owns
26% of the company; US Venture Partners is
also an investor.
