Cobolt Inc. has been renamed HÜBNER Photonics Inc.
HÜBNER Photonics was formed in 2016, following the acquisition of the Swedish manufacturer Cobolt AB by HÜBNER Group. HÜBNER Photonics consolidates all the laser and photonics businesses within HÜBNER and has manufacturing sites in Solna, Sweden (Cobolt), and in Kassel, Germany. The new company name is a logical consequence of this business structure and addresses the U.S. market coherently with all the HÜBNER Photonic products, not only the Cobolt laser line.
In conjunction with the name change, the company has also installed a new president of its U.S. operations. Andreas Naeslund joined the team in November 2018, and brings with him extensive experience managing U.S. sales and support organizations on behalf of Swedish high-tech companies.
The HÜBNER Photonics Inc. office will offer the full range of high-performance Cobolt lasers, the CW tunable laser C-WAVE, along with the company’s full selection of C-FLEX laser combiners.
