About OPTEX

OPTEX is a Japanese sensing group founded in 1979 and headquartered in Otsu, Shiga, whose parent, OPTEX GROUP Co., Ltd., is listed on the TSE Prime market. The group describes itself as a world leader in sensing solutions built on laser, fibre-optic, passive and active infrared detection, with leading global shares in outdoor intrusion-detection sensors and automatic-door sensors, and more than 40 group companies and locations in over 90 countries. Two parts of the portfolio matter for this directory. In factory automation, the group’s FA business supplies laser sensors and LiDAR used for AGV and AMR safety and navigation, alongside photoelectric and displacement sensors for production lines. In security sensing, its REDSCAN series uses LiDAR time-of-flight scanning to create virtual laser walls and planes — the Pro models cover up to 100 metres with onboard analytics that report the size, distance and X/Y coordinates of moving objects — technology that is also applied to presence detection and asset protection.

The group reports 2,162 consolidated employees. Filed here at group level, OPTEX is the sensing supplier behind both the safety scanners that keep mobile robots from colliding with people and the laser detection systems that guard the facilities those robots work in. For directory partners, it offers proven, listed-group depth in laser and infrared sensing rather than a single product line.

Questions partners ask

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
