![](https://21808144.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21808144/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/roc-top-100-300x217.jpeg?width=300&height=217&name=roc-top-100-300x217.jpeg)Apollo Optical Systems Inc. (AOS), a world leader in manufacturing of polymer optics, announced it was named to the Rochester Chamber Top 100 for 2021. Each year, the Rochester Chamber of Commerce compiles the Top 100 list showcasing the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the Greater Rochester area.

To be eligible for the Rochester Chamber Top 100 program, companies must be privately owned, headquartered in the nine-county Rochester region, and have earned at least $1 million in revenue in each of the three most recent fiscal years. The Rochester Chamber Top 100 rankings are calculated based upon revenue, considering both dollar and percentage growth.

AOS is well-known for manufacturing the most difficult optical polymer components and assemblies in the medical industry as well as in the commercial AR/VR industry. AOS is a global leader in manufacturing state-of-the-art polymer optics for the autonomous vehicle and optical sensor industry.

“The company’s growth has been enabled by its hardworking and dedicated employees;

The employees truly are the backbone of this organization.

A very big “**Thank-You**” goes out to all the AOS employees, our customers and suppliers!

It is an honor to have their hard work recognized by the Rochester Chamber of Commerce Top 100 for our fifth year. I am confident that our team will continue solve complex optical issues and deliver polymer optical solutions for many years to come,” says Daniel E. McGarry, President of Apollo Optical Systems Inc.
