Opto 22 was founded in 1974 by engineers who designed a better solid-state relay. Now, over 40 years later, we’re still privately held, lean, and run by engineers. Our flat organization fosters individual responsibility, quick response to customers’ needs, and fast development of cutting-edge products. With unmatched reliability, innovation, and quality as its benchmarks, Opto 22 makes it faster and easier to connect to, control, monitor, and gather business intelligence from the extended enterprise and bring it into business applications. www.opto22.com
