About

WaveFront Technology, Inc, (WFT) began operations in 1986 as a partnership formed by a group of technology professionals focused on holography and advanced optics. This partnership focused on developing state-of-the-art holograms and surface relief replication technology. Over time this core capability evolved into a proprietary custom tooling service that actualized production capabilities for leading embossing companies worldwide. As WFT’s industry presence grew the key founding partners incorporated and WFT became a California Corporation in 1996 with two principal owners. Our facilities are located within 20 minutes of LAX in Paramount, California and have grown to 60,000 square feet of centralized Laboratory, Manufacturing and Warehouse space.

WFT has departments that include 3 Origination labs, Tooling, Film Manufacturing, Converting, R&D, and Engineering Services. WFT currently has a staff of 65 full time employees that include Executive and R&D staff with advanced engineering and optical physics degrees as well as Metrology, Laboratory, QC and Manufacturing Management professionals with over 100 years of combined experience high volume – high value optical component manufacturing. WFT has experience with Holographic and Optical Micro-structures including Holographic Optical Elements and Diffusers, Computer generated elements, Grayscale customized patterns, Diamond Cut (DTM) prismatic structures including Prisms, Fresnel lenses, and many other custom patterned surface relief structures.
