Quality Vision International

The QVI Profit Sharing Retirement Plan was established in 1965 to serve employees of Quality Vision International, Inc. and its affiliate Quality Vision Services. It is structured as a noncontributory defined-contribution plan funded by the company, which itself remains under the third-generation leadership of the Polidor family with Keith Polidor as President and CEO and founder Edward Polidor as Chairman. The plan allocates across a fund-of-funds and secondaries strategy. It does not disclose individual managers or direct investments publicly. QVI's operating business designs and manufactures coordinate measuring machines for factories in more than 45 countries, with facilities in Tempe, Shanghai, Singapore and Germany supporting the Rochester headquarters. SVP and CFO David Francati serves as the primary contact for investment fund holdings. Team size is not disclosed. The plan fits within a broader family-business architecture that includes the YKT Corporation joint venture for Japan, residential properties in Webster and Rochester, and Livingston County land. Edward Polidor's affiliations — the Rochester Yacht Club, where he served as Vice Commodore, and the International Soling Association — reflect the personal interests of the founding generation rather than a separate family-office entity. Its structural differentiator is longevity: a single-company plan that has survived six decades without converting to a 401(k) or merging into a multi-employer vehicle. That persistence gives the plan a rare stability in governance, even as its manufacturing sponsor has evolved from a small optics firm into a global metrology supplier.
