In 1940, Columbus based White Haines Optical Co. opened an office in Saginaw, Michigan, and moved to the Christy Way location in 1971.
In early 1987, a group of local investors teamed up to purchase the Saginaw office from White-Haines, and in doing so, formed Hi-Tech Optical, Inc.
Hi-Tech Optical, Inc. is currently owned and operated by Thomas M. Ryan.
