Lumex


Lumex, Inc., a member of the Illinois Tool Works (ITW) family of companies, is a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of opto- and photo-electronic components, devices and displays. These products are used mostly in the man-to-machine interface, and in some cases, for the detection of motion, short-range signaling, and fiber communications. 

Lumex offers thousands of items, with an emphasis on both application-specific and customer-specific capabilities for the North American, Asian and European markets. 

The company is headquartered in Palatine, Illinois and Chu Dung, Hsin Chu County, Taiwan ROC, with manufacturing facilities in Illinois, Taiwan and China, and distributors throughout North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. 

Since its inception in 1980, Lumex was established as a global organization offering application-specific solutions–but with the manufacturing efficiencies normally associated only with volume operations. Its present focus on solid state technology was established in 1986. Lumex received its initial ISO 9001 registration in 1996. 

On November 1, 2004, Lumex joined ITW, a Fortune 200 diversified manufacturing company with more than 90 years of history.
