PowerPhotonic Signs Distributor in Israel

PowerPhotonic has signed a deal with Lahat Technologies Ltd. to distribute its products in Israel, the precision laser micro-optics maker announced Friday.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Scotland, PowerPhotonic provides micro-optics for diode laser and high-power laser applications, primarily for the materials processing, medical systems, optical communications and defense industries.

Lahat was founded in 1992 and has two offices: its headquarters in Kfar Saba in central Israel and another in Galilee (Teradion Industrial Zone). Lahat is ISO 9000-certified and Israeli Ministry of Defence-approved.

"I believe there is a substantial opportunity in Israel for PowerPhotonic across a wide variety of applications," said Roy McBride, PowerPhotonic managing director and co-founder. "PowerPhotonic's innovative micro-optics products are well suited for the Israeli market due to the ability to create a wide range of different solutions for applications from lasers to telecoms."

Lahat VP David Poleg said PowerPhotonic's products will help Lahat to "stay the leader in optics and electro-optics in Israel."
