U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) recognized Lattice Materials (Lattice), a Bozeman-based custom infrared optics and materials manufacturer and part of The Partner Companies (TPC), in the Congressional Record on September 24.
Based in Bozeman, Montana, Lattice manufactures silicon and germanium components used in infrared optics, thermal imaging, laser systems and semiconductors. In his statement, Senator Sheehy pointed to the company’s new 80,000-square-foot Bozeman facility, which is expected to add 50 skilled jobs over the next three years, and to its role in Montana’s growing optics and photonics industry. “Without question,” he said, “Lattice Materials is helping transform Montana into a national hub for advanced manufacturing and photonics.”
Lattice is one of 11 companies across The Partner Companies manufacturing precision components for advanced industries, including aerospace and defense.
Senator Sheehy’s statement appears in the Congressional Record, Vol. 172, No. 152 (September 24, 2026), p. S4983. Read the remarks here: https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-172/issue-152/senate-section/article/S4983-2?hl=lattice&s=5&r=1
