The Roditi International Corporation is the leading distributor in Europe of high quality piezoelectric and optical grade quartz crystals, laser crystals, electro-optic materials, optical components and processing equipment. Expanding into new markets with new products in the forefront of these technology areas has been the cornerstone of Roditi's constant and successful growth.

Incorporated on 29th August 1935, Roditi rapidly developed into a successful trading company, exporting synthetic textiles, Chinese silk fabrics and commissary goods to British embassies and other international organisations throughout the world. Brazil represented a major market, and in 1951 with the freeze of foreign currency payments for “non-essential” luxury goods, Roditi and a major Brazilian importer adapted to changing times and began a highly successful trade, exchanging textiles for natural quartz. In view of the rapidly expanding European demand for its use in communication systems, watches, automotive and consumer electronics, the sale and distribution of quartz crystals became a major part of Roditi's business.

In 1959 Roditi became sole European distributor for Sawyer Research Products, the world's leading manufacturer of cultured quartz crystals. Our partnership has continued ever since and we are looking forward to marking 50 years of working together. With the advent of solid state laser technology, the Union Carbide Corporation appointed Roditi sole European distributors for their Crystal Products Division, thus giving the company an entry into the electro-optical industry through association with the world's then largest producer of electro-optic materials. The Crystal Products Division was subsequently acquired by Saint Gobain and we have continued to supply their range of laser crystals to our European customers.

Advanced electronic components and new laser applications continue to increase the demand for sapphire, lithium niobate, tantalate, quartz SAW crystals, SOS wafers and other crystals, all available from the Roditi International Corporation Limited. At Roditi we consider customer satisfaction, combined with the creation of conditions allowing all our business partners to operate profitably, our priority. We are proud of our ability to maintain a climate of cordial relations, cooperation and mutual trust with our customers and suppliers and have been doing so for over 70 years.
