About Fraen Corporation
Fraen Corporation is a well-established, diversified manufacturing company, which pioneered solid state lighting optical design over a decade ago. Fraen Optics has long been focused on providing complex, high-value optical design for specialized applications, such as entertainment and architectural lighting, along with medical applications. Fraen Optics performs research and development functions at our facilities in Milan, Italy and Reading, Massachusetts, and manufactures the large majority of our products at our Reading facility.
Fraen Optics set the standard for LED lighting optics soon after we launched in 2002. Fraen dominated TIR lens market for LED lighting for a number of years, until competition sprouted up around us. As the basic technology for LED optics matured and became commoditized in recent years, we have channeled the resources of Fraen Optics into what we do best solving seemingly impossible lighting problems for our customers. We also seek to selectively release new products which provide market-disrupting performance.
This intersection between exacting customer requirements and our innovative problem-solving is where Fraen Optics thrives. Customers often turn to us to solve problems other optics and lighting companies cannot. It is the most challenging work that we find most rewarding. From lighting the most famous painting in the world to providing the majority of high-performance optics to the entertainment lighting industry, our work is on display around the world. Although our customers include some of the worlds largest lighting companies, we do not seek to be the largest optics company, but simply the best. |
