TRUMPF Acquires Majority Stake in Active Fiber Systems

TRUMPF has acquired an 80% stake in Active Fiber Systems GmbH (AFS), a company based in Jena, Germany. AFS develops and manufactures ultrashort-pulse laser systems and fiber laser systems used primarily in science and research.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

In addition to basic research, AFS laser systems support application areas including the generation of extremely short-wavelength light with high coherence, biomedical imaging, and materials processing. The company has 37 employees.
