Altechna's strategic acquisition of Alpine Research Optics
Altechna, a provider of laser optics and optomechanical assemblies from Vilnius, Lithuania has completed the acquisition of Alpine Research Optics (ARO), situated in a hub of photonics research and technology – Boulder, Colorado. Altechna has become a global player in the laser industry and a pioneer among Lithuanian companies to expand to the U.S. by acquisition.
This strategic move amplified our laser optics production capabilities. The ARO acquisition significantly enhanced our capabilities in precision optical polishing and coatings for UV and DUV. We believe, that this union will strengthen the companies’ position in the global laser technology market while focusing on medical and semiconductor production.
Bringing two industry-leading players together, with a combined 60 years in the photonics industry, will benefit the global laser industry. ARO’s strong foothold in durable, long life, high damage threshold coatings on tight tolerance substrates coupled with Altechna’s expertise in designing laser optics and optomechanical assemblies will raise the quality benchmark for worldwide laser companies.
