For over three decades, Krell Technologies has been at the forefront of photonics innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform industries and drive technological progress. We are proud to announce that we have been named a Finalist for Innovator of the Year at the New Jersey Manufacturing Awards 2024, hosted by NJMEP. This prestigious recognition underscores our commitment to advancing photonics, solving complex challenges, and enhancing New Jersey’s manufacturing community.

Since our inception, Krell Technologies has dedicated itself to the continuous improvement of photonic component processing. In 1993, we introduced the industry’s first field polisher, revolutionizing the installation of fiber optic cables in communication networks. Today, our NOVA™ product line represents the pinnacle of our innovative journey. This versatile, integrated system combines polishing and in-situ testing, streamlining production, minimizing handling, and ensuring high yield with built-in quality assurance.

Our approach to innovation is about more than just creating new products—it’s about solving real-world problems and addressing the evolving needs of our customers across diverse industries, including telecommunications, medical, aerospace, sensing, and quantum computing. These advancements are what earned us the Innovator of the Year finalist recognition.

The Innovator of the Year award celebrates individuals and organizations using creativity to improve business operations, enhance product quality, and positively impact STEM-related fields. At Krell Technologies, we continually challenge ourselves to push boundaries and deliver solutions that not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.

Innovation at Krell Technologies is fueled by our dedication to manufacturing excellence. Every product we create is designed, assembled, and tested at our Neptune City, NJ facility, allowing us to maintain the highest quality standards. Our integrated manufacturing process ensures precision and performance in every system we produce, from research and development prototypes to high-volume production systems.

Our growth has paralleled the expansion of the global photonics industry. While we initially focused on telecommunications, our technology has now expanded into critical fields such as medical imaging and aerospace, ensuring we remain at the cutting edge of photonics innovation.

At the heart of our success is a collaborative approach that involves regular communication between our engineering, manufacturing, and customer support teams. By engaging closely with our customers, we ensure that our products address specific challenges and meet the unique needs of each project.

We also recognize that our employees are key to our continued innovation. We invest heavily in their professional development, offering opportunities for growth through training programs and partnerships with local universities. By fostering a sense of ownership and collaboration across our entire workforce, we are able to continuously push the limits of what’s possible in photonics manufacturing.

Krell Technologies is proud to be part of New Jersey’s dynamic manufacturing sector. We’re grateful to be a finalist for Innovator of the Year, and we see this recognition as a reflection of our contributions to both the local economy and the global photonics industry.

As we prepare to attend the 12th Annual 'MADE in New Jersey' Manufacturing Day on October 6, 2024, we are reminded of the important role that manufacturing plays in driving innovation and creating career opportunities for future generations. NJMEP’s commitment to celebrating and supporting the manufacturers of New Jersey aligns with our mission to inspire and lead in photonics technology.

Looking ahead, Krell Technologies remains committed to leading the photonics industry through continued innovation and excellence in manufacturing. Whether we’re developing new devices, improving processes, or solving critical challenges, we will always strive to provide our customers with the highest-quality solutions that drive success in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

We are honored to be recognized as a finalist for the Innovator of the Year award and look forward to celebrating with our peers and partners at the NJMEP New Jersey Manufacturing Awards 2024.
