Collaboration expands access to AR/VR expertise and system-level electro-optical development from concept through manufacturing readiness

September 29, 2026, Barrington, NJ, USA — Edmund Optics^®, a leading global provider of optical and imaging components and solutions, is pleased to announce that JOYA Team has joined the Edmund Optics Trusted Optical Partnerships (TOPs) program. The collaboration adds JOYA Team’s system-level electro-optical development capabilities and AR/VR expertise to the TOPs network, helping customers move complex concepts toward working, manufacturable solutions.

JOYA Team works across AR/VR/XR, medical, automotive, and defense applications, with experience in imaging, illumination, and near-eye display systems. Based in Israel and serving customers globally, the company supports complex electro-optical product development from early concept through manufacturing readiness and strengthens the TOPs network’s ability to support customers in the local Israeli market. Its multidisciplinary team combines system engineering, optical design, prototyping, integration, and testing. This allows JOYA Team to address challenges where optical, mechanical, electronic, and application requirements must come together in a functional product, while helping customers reduce development gaps between concept, prototype, and production.

By joining the Edmund Optics TOPs program, JOYA Team’s system development expertise can be connected with Edmund Optics’ broad optical capabilities and global manufacturing infrastructure. Together, the companies can support customers across more stages of the development journey: from initial planning and optical design through prototyping, validation, and preparation for scalable production.

“JOYA Team is a strong addition to our TOPs network. Their expertise in AR, XR, and complex electro-optical systems complements our capabilities and expands the support we can provide in this growing field,” said Greg Hollows, Senior Vice President for Imaging and Optical Assemblies at Edmund Optics. “At the same time, their local presence, working in collaboration with our regional distributor Prolog Optics, allows us to strengthen the support we provide to customers in Israel.”

The Edmund Optics TOPs program is a network of complementary business partners designed to give customers access to broader technical expertise and product development capabilities through collaboration. By connecting specialized partners, TOPs helps customers address complex optics and photonics challenges through one trusted network. Learn more about the TOPs program and TOPs success stories at www.edmundoptics.com/company/tops.
