Folium Optics Limited

Folium Optics Limited, based in Keynsham, UK, is a small holding company with an active status, established eleven years ago in 2013. The company employs just two people and holds £22,243 in assets, operating from a virtual address shared by sixty-seven other companies. It’s managed by two directors and has one owner, though this list might not be exhaustive. Folium Optics is an irregular importer, primarily dealing with plastics and plastic products, with its last import operation recorded two months ago in November 2016.

The company’s website reveals a focus on consultancy, development, and exploitation of optics, plastic electronics, and plastic displays, particularly reflective colour systems. Having sold part of its IP portfolio in 2019, Folium Optics now provides technical consultancy and works on projects ranging from optical design to IoT systems, including laser dazzle protection and smart labelling. It’s currently based at the Bristol and Bath Science Park.

Financially, Folium Optics shows a mixed picture. Current assets have fallen by nearly half, dropping to £22,000, while net assets have plummeted 52% to £17,000. Cash reserves have also declined significantly, falling 51% to £17,000. Borrowings have increased, and creditors are up, suggesting a need for better cash flow management. The company’s small size—meeting two of three conditions for being classified as small—helps it remain flexible, but the sharp decline in equity is concerning. The accounts are unaudited, and no auditor is mentioned, which is common for small companies.

Despite these challenges, Folium Optics’ focus on niche consultancy and its diverse project portfolio—from optical design to IoT systems—suggests a potential for future growth. The company's focus on innovation and its ability to adapt to changing market conditions could be key to its long-term success.
