EMF Corp.

EMF was founded in 1936, as a result of a doctoral thesis by Dr. Robley Williams at Cornell University. A partnership with fellow physicist John Ruedy and Joel Ufford, an electrical engineer, was formed and Evaporated Metal Films Corporation began operations.
Evaporated Metal Films was the first company in the United States to manufacture evaporated, metallic, thin-film coatings. For the next 35 years, under the leadership of Joel Ufford, the company specialized in front surface mirrors, anti-reflection coatings and beamsplitters.

In 1972, ownership transferred to Curtis Ufford, Mike Shay and Floyd Kimple. More coating equipment was added along with multilayer dielectric coatings. A new 44,000 square foot facility was built in 1987, to accommodate the growing company and its newly created optical fabrication department.

Today, a new management team led by Megan Shay directs EMF's commitment to the principles of world-class manufacturing. The company provides optical coatings and products for a broad range of application markets including display systems, instrumentation, satellite communications and lighting. We are recognized for our ability to coat large optics and plastic components.

EMF is committed to providing innovative optical solutions and responsive service to our customers.
