Optex Co. Ltd. was established in Japan in order to broaden applications of passive infrared technology (PIR). Until that time, PIR technology had been used exclusively by the military, in space exploration, and in medical fields. OPTEX took this technology and began developing the security sensor for business use.
In 1983, Optex developed a security sensor for home and store use. Over the last 30 years, Optex has positioned itself as a world market leader, while continuing to respond to the rapidly changing demands of today's market.
