ABOUT
In 2003, Cheryl Koschara saw an opportunity to provide the optical industry with thin-film coatings and founded C.K. Coatings, Inc., a privately owned company near Geneseo, NY. It wasn't long before sales increased and the need to expand was quite relevant. In the fall of 2005, Linda Wright joined her as partners and C.K. moved to a larger facility in LeRoy, NY (near Rochester, NY, where the headquarters of the optical industry is). Our customers' rapid increase in business quickly justified the need to purchase additional coating machines. We have several coating machines to handle various size optics as well as quick turnaround prototypes to high volume production runs.
Cheryl has over 20 years experience in the Optical Thin-Film industry using a high vacuum deposition process. Linda has over 20 years experience in the Sales industry with 18 of them being in optics. Together, their knowledge, experience and expertise of designing and processing coatings has evolved C.K. into the successful business that it is today.
You are more than welcome to visit our facility in LeRoy, NY. Thank you for giving C.K. Coatings the opportunity to exceed your needs. Think C.K. Coatings for all your optical thin-film needs.

“In 2003 we were experiencing an extremely high reject rate from our previous coating house. At that time Cheryl contacted me and asked if we had any need for coatings on our optics. We sent a test run of prisms for her to coat. After receiving them back and evaluating the coating, it was clear that it was the most durable coating I had ever tested. We have not rejected any prisms for coating in the 5 years with CK.
The quick turn around and friendly service make it a pleasure to deal with CK Coatings.”
