Testimonies
Fostering collaborations and building relationships with customers is part of our DNA. Here is what they have to say.
Bernhard Schrenk
Austrian Institute of Technology AustriaWe were satisfied and I couldn't think of any improvement in service. Thanks again in providing those preliminary components [DC1300LQ2] to us. I have to add that we used this coupler within an installation of an out-door unit that is exposed to month-to-month temperature changes. We did not encounter any problem concerning the use in an out-door-like environment, neither was there a problem with the fibers or connectors.
Dominic Sauvageau, CTO
Zilia CanadaThe integration of Castor's products into our platform for the non-invasive assessment of ocular biomarkers has been a game-changer.
