Private equity firm CenterGate Capital has made an investment in AC Photonics (ACP), a provider of precision optical and fibre optic components and modules designed and engineered to its customers’ precise specifications.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, ACP designs and engineers its products to its customers’ precise specifications, creating photonic solutions across a wide range of fiber optic communication applications. With an industry leading quality control program that delivers high reliability products, its product portfolio includes fiber optic components and modules, both passive and active, fused and/or filter based- all of which are relied on by its customers to enhance their capabilities and improve their network performance.
CEO Arthur Wang, who founded ACP in 1995, will continue to lead the company and serve on its Board of Directors.
“We could not be more excited to have CenterGate partner with ACP,” says Wang. “CenterGate’s investment will provide ACP the capital and strategic resources necessary to both better serve our customers and realize our future growth plans.”
Lewis Schoenwetter, Managing Director at CenterGate Capital, adds: “CenterGate is thrilled to partner with Arthur and the dynamic AC Photonics team. We believe our partnership will unlock additional opportunities as ACP continues on its growth path as we leverage its passive optical components leadership position for new customers and markets.”
