The topic of lens manufacturers has come up from time to time on the lithography thread.

This is just from memory, so it may well be wrong, but there are indeed precious few companies that can build the lenses and other optics needed for today's litho systems. I believe, in the US, that Danbury Optical, the people who made the flawed primary mirror for the Hubble Space Telescope, have in the past served this niche, but I do not know what their current status is. There was also mention of a German firm, perhaps Carl Zeiss or Schott.
For example, check this out from Schott
