The company has expanded its global presence rapidly over the past decade and will be leveraging the global infrastructure already in place to benefit Indian customers.

Additionally, to enhance and simplify the online shopping experience, Edmund Optics now offers a designated website for India that allows users to shop in Indian Rupees (₹).
