Zygo Corporation, a leading provider of precision 3-D optical metrology solutions, has announced the expansion of its operations in India with the hiring of a sales and marketing team — a move the company says underscores its commitment to the rapidly growing Indian manufacturing market and will provide enhanced support to local customers.

Zygo, which was founded in 1970, has ‘consistently pushed the boundaries in precision optics and metrology’, and its products now span a broad range that includes optical profilers, laser interferometers, and metrology software. These are used in a variety of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and consumer electronics.

Neil Curtis, Zygo Corp’s DVP sales, marketing, and service, said: “India’s manufacturing sector has seen exponential growth in recent years, driven by government initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ and an increasing focus on high-precision manufacturing. This growth has led to a heightened demand for advanced 3-D optical metrology solutions, which are critical for quality control and process optimisation in manufacturing environments. Zygo’s expansion in India is a response to this growing demand, with the aim to offer localised support and expertise to Indian manufacturers.

“The new sales and marketing team in India will play a pivotal role in understanding the unique needs of the Indian market and will work closely with customers to provide tailored solutions. As Zygo continues to innovate and expand its global footprint, the Indian manufacturing market remains a key area of focus; and with a dedicated team in place, Zygo is well-positioned to contribute to the advancement of India’s manufacturing capabilities and to forge lasting partnerships in the region.”
