ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2022 / LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LPTH) ('LightPath,' the 'Company,' or 'we'), a leading vertically integrated global manufacturer and integrator of proprietary optical and infrared components and high-level assemblies, today announced a new supply agreement for Precision Molded Optics, with a long time European customer of precision motion control systems and OEM assemblies. The new supply agreement will go into effect in the second half of our fiscal 2023 and is expected to run for around 12-18 months.

Commenting on the supply agreement, Sam Rubin, Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, stated, 'We are thrilled to see long-time customers continue to increase their purchases from us, reflecting growth in the number of units purchased. We believe such continued relationships demonstrate the value we bring to partners with our molded optics solutions and is a big win for our new European direct sales team.'

Mr. Rubin added: 'The $4 million supply agreement is a continuation and expansion of the existing supply agreement, and now the related orders will be processed directly through LightPath rather than through our former European distributor, which will have a favorable impact on LightPath's revenue. We have been working with European customers on providing higher value solutions and this extended partnership is a validation of that work.'
