Max Levy Autograph, Inc.
Max Levy Autograph, Inc. (MLA), a subsidiary of II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ : IIVI),
is a manufacturer of high precision, tight-tolerance patterns on optical, metal, ceramic, and various other substrates.
Advanced patterning technologies are used to delineate patterns in substrates for resolution targets, machine vision
calibration, optical encoders, and quality control equipment. Other unique capabilities include in-house electro-forming
and plating for generation of fine mesh patterns with no substrate and our diamond milling equipment which has generated
micro-needle arrays for medical applications and aspheric surface arrays for 3D imaging applications. In addition, our
proprietary and patented processes can protect products from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Frequency Selective
Surfaces (FSS) can be applied to block specific wavelengths and pass others for unique and custom applications on
radomes, ceramics, and polyimide.
MLA was founded in Baltimore in 1872 as a manufacturer of half-tone screens and etched plates for the graphic arts
industry. MLA now resides in a modern 30,000 square foot facility with Class 1000 cleanrooms in Northeast Philadelphia.
The company operates under the management of Exotic Electro-Optics,
a subsidiary of II-VI Incorporated in the Military
and Materials business segment.
Currently serving commercial and MIL-AERO customers in a variety of industries, MLA's products derive from high
precision phototooling and proprietary patterning methods.
