Our CEO, Dr. Frank Heinricht, recently had the honor of meeting with Germany's Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as part of his active role in the German Science and Humanities Council (Wissenschaftsrat, WR). Established in 1957, the WR is Europe’s oldest science policy advisory body and has been instrumental in shaping an internationally competitive research and higher education system in Germany - especially during the pivotal years of German reunification. Dr. Heinricht's involvement highlights our commitment to advancing science and research. The WR's focus on educational growth, efficiency in science, and the internationalization of research aligns with our values. We believe a strong science and research framework drives both national progress and innovation for companies like ours - fostering a future where scientific excellence and innovation continue to drive our industry forward.

You advance robotic surgery. We enlighten it. ✨🤖 For even the most advanced robotic surgical systems, precise lighting is fundamental. Our #glass fibers, integrated within the endoscope of robotic systems, transmit light over long distances – enabling accurate distinction between healthy and pathological tissues for life-saving decisions. That’s why leading robotic surgery companies partner with us to develop customized #fiberoptic solutions that deliver clarity where it’s needed most. Together, we’re advancing healthcare and improving patients' lives, one light at a time. 💡
