Acquires production facilities with cleanroom space in Tampere, Finland
Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc (RSTI), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance laser beam sources and laser-based systems, has acquired buildings in Tampere, Finland to increase its fibre laser manufacturing capacity.
The company has paid US$5.3m to purchase about 20,000m2 of land. The buildings total more than 5,000m2 of floor space and include approximately 800m2 of cleanroom capacity.
“We are very happy to gain access to these premises as they perfectly suit our need to ramp up high power fibre laser production,” said Gunther Braun, ceo and president of RSTI.
“The existing cleanroom and production space will enable us to accelerate the hiring and training of additional staff to enhance the production of fibre laser modules. This investment underlines Rofin's commitment to further strengthen its position in this technology.”
RSTI’s headquarters are in Plymouth, Michigan, US and Hamburg, Germany. It has production facilities in the US, Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Singapore and China. The company currently has more than 38,000 laser units installed worldwide and serves more than 4,000 customers.
