Andor Technology's mission is to become the global leader in pioneering and manufacturing high performance light measuring solutions. The company has enabled scientists worldwide to measure light down to a single photon and capture events occurring within one billionth of a second.

Established in 1989 from a spin-out of Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland, Andor has grown organically and through acquisitions year on year. In 2004 Andor Technology plc floated on the AIM market of London's Stock Exchange (LSE:AND) and now counts over 200 employees in 15 offices in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, offering over 70 products to 10,000 scientific research and OEM customers through our direct sales force and distributors.

Fairchild Imaging develops and manufactures solid-state electronic imaging components, cameras, and systems. They are a company devoted to the creation of electronic imaging technology, development of that technology to production practicality, and manufacture to commercial success.

A descendent of the Fairchild family of companies, and originally a part of Fairchild Semiconductor, Fairchild Imaging is now a stand-alone company. In 1973, they brought semiconductor-based electronic imaging to commercial reality with the first commercially available CCDs. Since that achievement, Fairchild Imaging and its OEM customers have introduced imaging technology and processes that have created industries.

Innovation is a hallmark of their products and the Fairchild Imaging patent portfolio is lengthy and broad, taking great pride, however, in the conversion of their technology to successful production and the commercial application of the products.
