LEYBOLD OPTICS is getting going in matters of glass
A new business unit to go on from the successes of the Display unit
Alzenau, 03/2007
A synonym for high tech in the glass industry: for many years the Name of Leybold has stood for the most successful systems for the coating of architectural glass. Consequently, LEYBOLD OPTICS, the specialist for vacuum technology, is now extending its portfolio to a business unit called 'Glass' and thus expanding in the field of In-Line technology again for the second time in a year.
However, LEYBOLD OPTICS is no novice to this segment. Its engineers have a wide know-how at their disposal that is to be bundled up now. They have already impressively proved with the introduction of their display systems that with LEYBOLD OPTICS, innovation is nothing unusual even in a new area of business. For nearly twelve months now, they have been offering their customers an unequalled alternative in the market there.
In matters of glass, they have managed within only a few months to go on from the former successes of the company that LEYBOLD OPTICS owes its name to. Just recently a customer has ordered a system of more than 100 meters in production length. Even considering that large coating systems are quite common in the glass industry, such a dinosaur can be found in only very few production halls. And moreover, this system will sport the fastest cycle times worldwide so far. A combination of absolute reliability, simple maintenance demands, and naturally, precise coating results enables LEYBOLD OPTICS' engineers to attract such prestigious orders.
High throughput at excellent properties of the coating layers applied - that exactly is the company philosophy. But the basis of the successful work done by LEYBOLD OPTICS is laid by an expanding research and development department. Here, the experts always focus on achieving better results at lower unit costs. With curiosity and a love for innovation, they develop tailor-made systems and new manufacturing processes for their customers in the four corners of the world.
The business unit of 'Glass' does not produce large production runs - but that is precisely what LEYBOLD OPTICS rates as its specific market value. The small team of experts is able to react flexibly and quickly to any special customer demand. Consequently, whenever a specific and at the same time highly productive system is needed, LEYBOLD OPTICS is the obvious choice of manufacturer.
