About Us
Corporate History
MP Optical Communications was incorporated in September 1999, as a joint venture with Methode Electronics Inc. (Listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange) and Photonic Marketing Corporation, a Rhode Island company, to design and manufacture optical products in China. Originally planning to produce optical transceivers, prevailing market conditions dictated a new path; fiber optic cable assembly. Indeed, MP Optical was a market pioneer; the first such company in China.
Methode Electronics soon spun off its optical products division as Stratos Lightwave in May 2000 by combining most of the optical product units of Methode Electronics Inc as a new entity, which assumed Methode Electronics’ interest in MP Optical. By 2004, Methode Electronics and its successor Stratos Lightwave divested their interest in MP, which became an independent firm.
“Our products have been exported to more than 30 countries, on every continent.”
