Steve Somerstein, Lockheed Martin

“Your Epner gold coating, the polishing of the tapered optical light pipe and the Lambertian surface preparation for our prototype optical integrating cavity, has produced a test fixture that has exceeded our performance requirements.”

– Steve Somerstein, Lockheed Martin

Farshid Azad, Joaquin Mason, Ronald Bento, L3 Communications

“We’d like to thank you for your efforts on our baffle polishing and gold coating. The parts, and especially the processing steps were a challenge for fabrication. Your flexibility and perseverance were keys to working towards successful parts and maintaining our assembly schedule.”

– Farshid Azad, Joaquin Mason, Ronald Bento, L3 Communications

George Fraser, University of Leicester, PI for the MIXS experiment on BepiColombo

“We have overcome many technical challenges on MIXS, but the hardest by far was the coating of gold onto titanium – vital for the thermal performance of the X-ray optics in their eventual orbit around Mercury. Several UK-based contractors tried and failed; sober advisors said the coating might not even be possible – but Epner Technology has delivered the complex gold-on-titanium structures that we needed.”

- George Fraser, University of Leicester, PI for the MIXS experiment on BepiColombo

Catherine Nagel DeFreese, Motorola, Inc.

“The performance of the Epner sample was outstanding, providing a Q of approximately 3700 as opposed to the best previous value of 3200 (typical production values are around 2800).”

- Catherine Nagel DeFreese, Motorola, Inc.

Mark C. Carpenter, ITT Defense

“The high percentage of on-time deliveries we have received from you is a positive reflection of Epner’s commitment to ITT…”

- Mark C. Carpenter, ITT Defense
