Marktech Optoelectronics was founded in 1985 in Latham, New York, by former members of National Semiconductor's Optoelectronic Division. The company is a specialized designer and manufacturer of optoelectronic components and assemblies, focusing on LEDs, infrared emitters, photodetectors, and custom visible and IR sensor solutions. Recognizing that optoelectronic devices do not conform to standard second-source specifications, Marktech pioneered in-house optical testing and binning capabilities for wavelength, power output, and forward voltage. In the early 1990s, Marktech was appointed as the Exclusive Value Added Distributor for Toshiba America's optoelectronic products, validating its engineering and testing expertise. Today, Marktech is a Cree Solutions Provider for high-brightness LEDs and materials, further strengthening its supply chain and technology portfolio. The company also manufactures its own line of visible and infrared sensors, photodiodes, and indium phosphide (InP) epiwafers for advanced detector applications. With decades of experience in precision optical sorting and harsh-environment reliability testing, Marktech serves niche markets requiring high-performance, application-specific optoelectronics. Its engineering-centric business model sets it apart from broadline distributors by offering custom component selection, testing, and assembly. Marktech remains privately held and continues to invest in R&D for next-generation optoelectronic materials and devices.
