Anniversaries in Great Britain and Arizona

LASER COMPONENTS (UK) sells the products manufactured by the group in the United Kingdom and has played a key role in shaping the UK market for optical and optoelectronic components over the past 30 years.

The Detector Group was founded in 2003 with a clear focus on the development and manufacture of avalanche photodiodes. Today, many other detector types are also produced in Chandler, Arizona – including InGaAs photodiodes, PbX components for breath gas analysis, and pyroelectric detectors for exhaust gas measurements and flame detection. With a new, state-of-the-art building opened in 2020, LASER COMPONENTS confirmed the importance of the Detector Group for the corporate group and its strategy for the future.

»30 and 20 years ago, we took a high risk by establishing sales and manufacturing locations abroad. In 1993, LASER COMPONENTS itself was still a relatively young company in a market whose full potential had not yet been realized. We also went all-in 20 years ago when we decided to start manufacturing optoelectronic components by ourselves, « says Patrick Paul, CEO of the LASER COMPONENTS Group. »Today we know that both investments have paid off. Our international outlook is now an important part of our growth strategy.«
