Rochester, NY--Polymer optics maker G-S Plastic Optics, a Germanow-Simon Company, will expand its operations as part of a $3.23 million project that will include renovations in three buildings in which Germanow-Simon Companies operate, two of which are more than 100 years old. The project will create 25 new jobs while retaining 77 current employees, and is made possible through tax credits from Empire State Development (ESD). This support is said to demonstrate New York State’s continuing efforts to revitalize Rochester and other local communities statewide through economic development.

The project encompasses doubling the space dedicated to precision optics plastic injection molding and metrology; completion of the final phases of operating, monitoring, and maintenance of two Brownfield clean-up programs; and the purchase of new manufacturing equipment.
