Kleinostheim, 19.06.2006  Koheras A/S and LG-Laser Technologies GmbH are moving closer – to strengthen the impact on the market, the two companies will from now on act as one group, hence LG-Laser Technologies has changed the company name to Koheras GmbH.

In 2004, Danish fiber laser manufacturer Koheras A/S acquired the majority of German laser manufacturer LG-Laser Technologies GmbH in order to achieve a stronger presence in Germany, the most important single market for fiber lasers. After two years of collaboration and preparation for the current changes, the Koheras group will from now on present a joint portfolio of laser products to a diverse range of markets and demanding industrial applications.

The Koheras group will exhibit at OPTATEC 2006, which takes place from 20. - 23. June in Frankfurt, Germany. On booth E 43, all product lines will be presented with focus on the strong engineering capabilities and customised laser solutions.
