We were told to lie to customers on a daily basis about how our optics were made in house - almost everything was sourced from suppliers in China and re-branded with at least a 50% mark up. Only simple polishing and meteorology was done in house, although on some occasions the meteorology data was manipulated so that it passed.
Where a drawing was supplied for custom optics, we were told to redact the customer information, paste in a Knight Optical logo and send it out to Chinese suppliers. This was even done for classified drawings from major UK defense companies where it would explicitly state on the drawing "Do not share externally". This breached copyright material and jeopardised national security - if you sent a drawing to Knight Optical, it will have been redacted and sent to at least 5 Chinese suppliers to quote.
