Ultra-short pulse laser
Trump takes over Amphos
The high-tech company Trumpf is taking over the laser manufacturer Amphos with effect from January 9, 2018, thereby strengthening its product and technology portfolio in laser technology.
Founded in 2010 as a spin-out of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) and RWTH Aachen University, the company develops and produces ultrashort pulse lasers with high output power for applications in industry and science. Ultra-short pulse lasers are particularly common in electronics production, where they are used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, displays and cover glasses, for example. At the heart of the Amphos lasers is the so-called InnoSlab technology, which was co-developed by the company's founders during their time at the ILT and with which Trumpf is opening up new parameter diversity for its ultrashort pulse lasers. Amphos is based in the Herzogenrath Technology Park near Aachen; the parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
"Amphos is an innovative laser manufacturer and market leader in this field of technology. The management has more than 15 years of experience in the development of industrial lasers. With the InnoSlab technology, we are further expanding TRUMPF's technology leadership," says Christian Schmitz, Managing Director of Trumpf Laser Technology. Amphos develops ultrashort pulse lasers that cover a power range from 200 to 400 watts. For scientific applications, the company offers high-power lasers with up to 1.5 kilowatts of laser power. "Just like Amphos, Trumpf is a highly innovative company and is valued for its laser expertise," explain the three founders and managing directors of Amphos GmbH Claus Schnitzler, Torsten Mans and Jan Dolkemeyer. "We are looking forward to the exchange of experience and the new opportunities in sales and the further development of our technology that will now arise." kp
