International Polarizer

International Polarizer is a leading manufacturer of sunglass polarizers sold into the sunglass market. The business also designs and manufactures other high-tolerance polarizers for a variety of applications.

Since its inception, International Polarizer has maintained a reputation for precision and quality that is unsurpassed in the industry. Several factors contribute to this achievement, including automated processes perfected by International Polarizer engineers and a policy requiring 100% inspection of all products before shipment. In pursuit of technical excellence, the company spends more each year on research and development than on direct labor.

International Polarizer is known for its innovative accomplishments in sunglass polarizers, polarizing film, wave retarder sheets and more. For example, sunglass polarizers originated the polarized blue blocking and the polarized yellow eagle eye lens.

International Polarizer has a technical advisory service available to work with customers in perfecting ingenious applications of polarizers. This service has resulted in the development of polarized stress analyzers on the production lines of automobile glass and plastic soft drink bottles, and at one of the world's largest manufacturers of precision scientific glass products. A major TV network uses International Polarizer's polarizing film in the control room windows of its high-tech broadcast studio in Times Square, NY.

The Marlborough, MA company produces over one million square feet of polarizer sheet annually. The company headquarters is shown on the above.

The depth of the staff's technical expertise makes International Polarizer a unique presence in the polarizer industry. Combined prior experience of the employees totals more than 300 years in large volume production of optical products. Factory practices allow the same technicians who develop the product to manufacture and control the quality of the product. A typical turnaround is two days from production to inspection, enabling International Polarizer to satisfy customers' just-in-time requirements.
