30 years with Ibsen Photonics - it's time for change! Today I have been with Ibsen for 30 years. It should not come as a surprise - it has after all been 30 years in the making - but nevertheless it has managed to catch me by surprise. I think the reason for this is that our company, together with our industry (photonics), has been characterized by continuous change and development - we never stand still. Over these 30 years the internet has evolved and smart phones have become central to our daily life. At Ibsen we are part of the telecommunications industry, the laser industry, the healthcare industry - all industries which change the way we live our lives. As Ibsen, we have over these 30 years grown from being a newly established start-up to being a well-established company today. We survived the telecom bubble in the early 2000's, weathered the financial crisis of 2008 and we fought together - although a bit more apart - through the Covid years. Through it all, the one consistent aspect has been the company culture - openness, respect and helping each other to achieve common goals. In a sea of change, this stability has been a comfort and a joy. So now, after 30 years, it's time for change. Meeting changing markets with changing technologies. Bringing aboard new colleagues and new customers. Who knows what the next 30 years will bring? I don't - except that it will bring change. As always. Bring it on!
