Valdor has developed a breakthrough technology that dynamically wraps metal around glass. This enabling and fully-patented technology for terminating fiberoptic connectors and splices is called Impact Mount technology. It enables fiberoptic connectors to be terminated faster, more easily, more reliable, with less training, less applied cost and higher performance than any in the industry, in an automated fashion and without epoxy. Valdor's Impact Mount technology also enables the decoupling of fiber from opto-electronic device packaging (OEDP) which will dramatically reduce its assembly procedure. By the elimination of epoxy in connectors, interference is reduced. And above other epoxyless connectors, Impact Mount is simpler, quicker, and wraps metal around glass. It distinguishes itself among other epoxyless connectors by securing the fiber tip in front in addition to crimping at the back.

This technology is far superior to any within the market, and will positively be needed as part of the new wave of technology - increased bandwidth and miniaturization - making communication faster and clearer.

Dr. Michel Rondeau, the company founder, is an innovator who has numerous patents and extensive background in the fiberoptic field, and originally incorporated the Company in 1985. He was previously with AT&T Bell Laboratories and Bellcore. Valdor, a privately held company, recently received funding from Advent International, one of the premier global investment firms.

Valdor is aggressively expanding its sales and marketing efforts throughout the world. Valdor has recently signed a Strategic Alliance agreement with Amphenol Aerospace Operations for the Military/Aerospace market.  Additionally, Valdor continues to serve as OEM for ValQuest Medical, Inc., a joint venture with Life Quest Medical, Inc., to do business exclusively in the medical market. Valdor's customer base includes many Fortune 500 companies.

Not only does Valdor license its technology, but also serves the fiberoptic community by manufacturing connectors with its Impact Mount technology and opto-electronic device packaging using proprietary processes, and offers full support from product design and development to production, and reacts to customer needs with immediacy.
