Abrisa Technologies Acquires Agama Glass Technologies
Abrisa Technologies, a provider of custom glass optics and thin film coatings and a subsidiary of HEF Photonics, has acquired Agama Glass Technologies, a manufacturer of etched anti-glare glass and technical glass processing. The acquisition, Abrisa said, expands its manufacturing footprint and adds a vertically integrated solution for chemically etched anti-glare display glass. According to Abrisa, Clarksburg, West Virginia-based Agama operates North America’s only high-volume technical glass etching facility.
Agama's flagship product, AgamaEtch, is used in high-performance display and optics applications. The company's 85,000 sq ft facility also offers precision glass fabrication, chemical strengthening, and silk-screen printing, serving markets such as avionics, defense, medical, industrial, and touchscreen displays. Combined with Abrisa Technologies’ and HEF Photonics’ thin-film coating and surface engineering capabilities, Agama's offerings will gain greater versatility and scalability, according to the companies.

Agama Glass Technologies will continue operating under its current name, with no immediate changes to management or operations. Susan Hirst, general manager of Abrisa Industrial Glass, will collaborate closely with Agama leadership to integrate and enhance processing capabilities.
HEF Photonics also recently acquired Telic Company, further strengthening its position in advanced materials and photonics engineering. Telic adds expertise in thin-film deposition, photolithography, and microfabrication for precision optics and microelectromechanical systems applications. These capabilities complement those of Abrisa and Agama by adding micro-patterning, wafer-level processing, and cleanroom-based optical component manufacturing to the group’s portfolio.
