Together, we will be working even closer to further improve the EUV performance as well as serving more applications and customers looking for innovative low-power CO2 lasers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following several years in the development pipeline, EUV technology has now reached industrial maturity \u2013 providing the company with a considerable boost in sales this past fiscal year. Yong Zhang, founder and President of Access Laser comments: &#8220;Access Laser has been a force of innovation since its inception. The successful partnership of technologies of TRUMPF and Access Laser in EUV shows the inherent synergy of the two companies. We look forward to enhancing this synegry as a member of the Trumpf Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1999, Access Laser Co employs some 60 people in the US and China. Its product portfolio includes precision lasers with low output powers between 100 milliwatts and 50 watts as well as lasers with peak powers as high as 1 kilowatt.<\/p>\n<p>The company also caters to applications in the medical, electronics and scientific markets.
