Salvo Technologies Rebrands as Torrent Photonics

With the integration of its photonics entities, technology-based holding company Salvo Technologies has rebranded as Torrent Photonics. The rebranding comes after the completion of numerous acquisitions of optics and photonics companies between 2020 and 2022 — including its purchases of Flash Photonics, Pixelteq, Arrow Thin Films, Spectrecology, Kreischer, and Graflex. Salvo previously acquired Next Phase Optics in 2015, as well as EOI Technology in 2018.

According to Torrent Photonics CEO John Dougherty, “The focus in 2024 and beyond will be to build a focused, integrated organization that continues developing and manufacturing robust and innovative systems for our worldwide customer base."

Under its new brand identity, Torrent intends to provide engineering and vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities for the defense, security, medical, industrial, and commercial end markets.

A Jan. 1 press release issued by Salvo said that Torrent provides a range of products and services including imaging and sensing systems with an emphasis on multispectral and polarimetric systems; high-reliability electronic and electro-optical components and assemblies; optical filters; thin and thick film coatings; and fire-control optics.
