BELLOWS FALLS — Chroma Technology Corporation has completed a $4 million capital program after a $22 million major facility expansion in 2018.

The company said in a news release that it has continued to make significant equipment purchases to expand capacity as well as support new technical capabilities.

Chroma “has enhanced its substrate cleaning operations, increased optical coating capacity, and made major capacity improvements in its final product configuring operations,” the company said.
