The Krailling site will continue to operate as a center for glass processing within the 4JET Group.
In future, 4JET’s product portfolio in the field of glass technology will include solutions from cutting micro components, wafers and displays up to substrates measuring several square meters for facades or photovoltaics.

We look forward to working closely with our new colleagues in Krailling.”
4JET develops laser systems for surface preparation, cleaning and functionalization of sensitive technical surfaces, as well as for the micromachining of glass and thin films.
Core markets include photovoltaics and technical glass processing, the tire industry and e-mobility, as well as the aerospace industry.
Since its foundation in 2006, the company has developed unique process technologies such as the PearlCut glass cutting process, the LEAF technology for surface modification by laser interference structuring and a range of laser processes for tool cleaning, surface preparation and product tracking.
