Wedel, Germany--Optical test-equipment manufacturer TRIOPTICS GmbH says it is increasing its customer service and establishing a basis for future growth by founding a subsidiary in the USA--TRIOPTICS Inc.--and has also acquired Davidson Optronics, a manufacturer of optical test equipment such as autocollimators, interferometers, and optical positioning mounts.
TRIOPTICS Inc. will sell TRIOPTICS’ products and will provide application support and service in the USA. The company is located at Davidson Optronics’ headquarters in West Covina, CA. Mildex, TRIOPTICS’ previous distributor, will continue selling these products in the Northeastern part of the USA.
Davidson Optronics will continue operating as a stand-alone company but will cooperate closely with TRIOPTICS. A joint development for high-precision electronic autocollimators has already begun. Furthermore, Davidson Optronics products will now be distributed by TRIOPTICS subsidiaries and partners in Europe and Asia.
“Davidson Optronics has a broad experience in the photonics market and their
products supplement the TRIOPTICS product portfolio,” says Eugen Dumitrescu, CEO of TRIOPTICS. TRIOPTICS has appointed Ron Hartmayer as the CEO of Davidson Optronics and TRIOPTICS Inc. Before joining TRIOPTICS, Hartmayer spent several years in leading positions in the photonics industry.
