Precision Optics Corporation is moving its corporate offices and engineering development from Gardner, MA to Littleton, MA. This strategic decision will allow for the consolidation of dedicated production capabilities at the existing facilities in Gardner to meet the company's growing production backlog. The move will also enable the company to expand its production capabilities to meet increased demand.

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: POCI), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments for the medical and defense/aerospace industries, has announced a strategic move to consolidate its corporate offices and engineering development from Gardner, MA to Littleton, MA. The relocation is part of a broader effort to meet the company's growing production backlog and expand its production capabilities.

The move, effective August 1, 2025, will see the company's new corporate headquarters at 550 King St, Building A, Suite 100, Littleton, MA. This strategic decision allows Precision Optics to consolidate its dedicated production capabilities at its existing facilities in Gardner, MA, which have been experiencing an increased demand for its products. The company's growing backlog, which stood at an all-time high at the end of the most recent quarter, necessitated this expansion [1].

The relocation to Littleton, along with a new facility in South Portland, Maine, also provides Precision Optics with access to a broader engineering talent pool. This will enable the company to execute on its ongoing product development pipeline more efficiently. CEO Joe Forkey commented, "As our business has grown, it has become evident that we need to expand our production facilities in a cost-efficient manner to meet our growing backlog; and we need to access the best possible engineering talent that Massachusetts and Maine have to offer. Today’s announcement accomplishes both of these objectives" [1].
