Jenoptik streamlines corporate structures: German legal units of the Division Light & Optics bundled

As part of its Strategy 2022, Jenoptik is merging its business in the Light & Optics division in Germany to form JENOPTIK Optical Systems GmbH. This includes the activities relating to photonic technologies for OEM customers, i.e. optics, microoptics, lasers, digital image processing, optoelectronics as well as sensors and therefore all activities from development through to production, sales and service. For customers, this means solutions from a single source.

Under the motto 'More Focus', the Jenoptik Group is implementing initiatives that are intended to simplify the group structure and streamline processes. The legal merger of the Light & Optics division in Germany in a GmbH (limited liability company) was completed with the registration in the relevant commercial register on March 15, 2019. From now on, the businesses operating as JENOPTIK Laser GmbH (Jena), JENOPTIK Polymer Systems GmbH (Triptis, Berlin and Mühlhausen locations), JENOPTIK Diode Lab GmbH (Berlin) as well as the Sensors business unit of JENOPTIK Advanced Systems GmbH will merge to form JENOPTIK Optical Systems GmbH.

The around 1,200 employees in the Light & Optics division from all around the world have been working in new, global structures since January 1 this year. The know-how and extensive experience in optics and photonics will be brought together in a global production, service and sales network to intensify the focus on providing solutions from a single source. The Jenoptik Light & Optics division is an OEM partner and combines comprehensive expertise from optics, microoptics, laser technology, digital image processing, optoelectronics and sensors.
