In a sector that is still very fragmented, Optoprim Group becomes Atlensys, a group with a European dimension which now brings together under the same banner five companies specializing in laser and photonic solutions in France, Germany and Italy.
While the industrial photonics sector remains highly fragmented across Europe, Atlensys is betting on consolidation. Atlensys is, in fact, the new name for Optoprim Group, which now brings together five companies specializing in laser and photonic solutions in France, Germany, and Italy. Such consolidation is still relatively rare in the European laser landscape.
Atlensys thus brings together Optoprim France (microscopy, metrology, components and precision machining), Optoprim Italy (laser integration for machine builders and niche industrial applications), Optoprim Germany (laser solutions for industrial and scientific needs), Industrial Laser Systems (manufacturer of industrial laser systems) and Gataca Systems (advanced microscopy systems for life science research).
The group has an annual turnover of around 70 million euros (more than half of which is outside France) and 120 employees, and is therefore now positioned as a major European supplier of laser and photonic solutions for industry and science.
“Atlensys reflects our desire to go further: we are developing our activities, expanding internationally and strengthening our R&D to support our partners, anticipate technological developments and pave the way for the next era of photonics,” assures Guillaume Adam, CEO of Atlensys.
Atlensys is supported in this ambition by its long-standing financial partners, namely the French private equity firms NCI and Re-Sources Capital.
Note that the group will make its first appearance under the common banner Atlensys at the Laser World of Photonics trade fair, which will take place next week in Munich, and during which the company will present 3DFLEX, a 3D laser processing system.
