Trumpf Group, Ditzingen, and Jenoptik AG, Jena, also Germany, intend to expand their cooperation, which goes back to 2001, and set up a joint venture for optical modules for fibre-optic lasers.
The two partners will each have a 50 percent share of the new firm, JT Optical Engine GmbH + Co. KG, headquartered in Jena and comprising 20 staff members - the joint venture still requires antitrust approval.
JT Optical Engine will develop, produce, and sell optical modules known as “optical engines” for fiber-optic lasers. Next to pump diodes, control and beam management, the optical engine is an important component in fiber laser devices. The joint venture company will offer the modules to third parties worldwide and supply both Jenoptik and Trumpf.
