WE ARE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Join Our Team Our History Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech), was established in 1986 in San Antonio, Texas by Max Navarro along with co founders, Dr. C. Wayne Shore and Dr. Lynda Y. de la Vina. Privately held and minority owned, OpTech has been named one of the fastest growing small businesses in the US by INC Magazine on three separate occasions. MILITARY: The first major contract at OpTech was with the US Military’s Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Test for personnel research and testing calibration. During this same period, OpTech’s team secured contracts with the Air Force Intelligence Agency (AIA), for the engineering and installation of high security electronic surveillance and other sensitive security equipment for U.S. installations around the world. BIOTECH: Seeing an opportunity to expand, the team broadened services to include an Environmental Engineering Division, opening offices in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dayton, Ohio, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. OpTech continued to grow and expand as the company was granted multiple U.S. Air Force contracts in high tech, leading to a decision to spin-off research and development in biotechnology – OTC Biotech. Today this OpTech’s biotechnology subsidiary is led by Chief Scientist Dr. John Bruno. Dr. Bruno received his Ph.D. Microbiology & Immunology from the University of Arizona 1991, conducting molecular-based R&D using short-chain synthetic DNA “aptamers.” Dr. Bruno, an internationally recognized and leading authority in aptamer research and development, has secured close to a dozen patents. In addition, he has authored numerous publications in scientific journals and books. Dr. Bruno has been highly successful in obtaining Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Army and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contracts and funding, as well as receiving numerous awards, including the prestigious Tibbetts Award in 2011. Since its inception, OTC Biotech has succeeded in research and development of DNA aptamer conjugates for use in portable microbial diagnostic devices. Currently the company is engaged in promising research in several arenas in the biotechnology industry. These include food and water safety testing, bio-chemical warfare sensor detection, and the development of other medical detection devices. INTERNET: In the mid-1990s, the team landed a contract with a leading telecommunications carrier for the light manufacturing, assembly, and fulfillment of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) commercial applications. OpTech worked to deploy technology in the telecomm’s thirteen state region, delivering internet connections to the residential and business mass-consumer markets. As a result, OpTech’s technology deployment was instrumental in the explosive penetration, growth, and ubiquitousness of the Internet Technology Age in the US. INTERNATIONAL: Mexico: Since 2005, OpTech has operated complex cross-border maquiladoras in Mexico as well as operating a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designated facility at Port San Antonio. In an effort to support the company’s International Supply Chain strategy, in 2003, OpTech established Soluciones Tecnológicas Integradas, S.A. de C.V., (STI) in Mexico. STI provides supply chain management services within the Mexican telecommunications industry and operates seven distribution centers with a presence in over sixty cities. STI provides light manufacturing, assembly and fulfillment for its largest client, Telmex, and delivers over 50,000 modems a month to residential and business Telmex customers. Japan: In 2004, OpTech formed a partnership with a Japanese automotive conglomerate, Vuteq Corporation, to provide global tier-one supplier support to Toyota. This highly successful joint venture company, Vutex Inc., is a tier one supplier which assembles numerous components for the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma trucks at Toyota’s manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas. Vutex, Inc. operates 300,000 square feet of production space and provides Toyota with instrument panel module assembly, trim parts sub-assembly, door assembly, and operates a 38,000 square foot glass assembly facility.
