We are Everix, the future of optical filter industry
Our Story
Everix was born of an idea inspired by the optical fiber manufacturing process. Our co-founder, Dr. Hooman Banaei, turned his storage unit into a workshop where the initial proof-of-concept work was performed. He was soon joined by co-founder Justin Boga to develop a professional facility and processes that led to the first commercial products in 2018. Everix has ever since evolved into a community of caring members who genuinely want to do good for the world.
​
Among its members, Everix is metaphorically thought of as a village, with its citizens called Everixians. Everixians strive to improve health and life quality for all global civilians by innovative products that enable innovation in fields of medicine, science, and technology.
​
The name Everix was inspired by Mt. Everest to remind Everixians every day of their commitment to reach the highest points of the industry and impact lives of global citizens to an extent never possible before in the thin-film industry.
Our Mission
The current optical filter industry has not seen sufficient innovation in decades, limiting customers to only two choices of either high performance or affordability at scale. The world has unaddressed needs for affordable, high performance optical filters in the areas of personal health, energy, automotive, and consumer electronics to save and improve life quality for billions. Everix brings both high performance and affordability together to offer a world of new possibilities to our customers, and ultimately, all global civilians as the end users.
