3D-Micromac AG, specialist in laser micromachining and roll-to-roll laser processing systems, is pleased to announce that as part of its successful strategic realignment, a consortium of US investors has acquired a majority stake in the company. The founder and previous majority shareholder Tino Petsch has also sold part of his share package and will withdraw from the operative business. His former fellow board member, Uwe Wagner, will continue to manage the business of 3D-Micromac AG with overall responsibility.

Tino Petsch founded 3D-Micromac AG in 2002, built it up over the years and represented it as a board member. Together with Uwe Wagner, Tino Petsch has consistently advanced the company in recent years, putting 3D-Micromac AG on a solid economic footing despite the current difficult times. The investors now acquired also contribute to this. Tino Petsch will remain with 3D-Micromac AG as a consultant and will continue to be associated with the company as a shareholder.

Uwe Wagner has been appointed to the Management Board of 3D-Micromac since 2017 and was previously responsible for the technological and commercial management. He commenced his professional career at the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH). In the following years, he was responsible for product management, international sales and the development of new business areas at LPKF Laser & Electronics AG, Jenoptik Automatisierungstechnik GmbH and Jenoptik Laser GmbH, among others, and worked in business development at Jenoptik's Lasers & Material Processing division. Uwe Wagner has been working for 3D-Micromac AG since 2012. After starting in business development, Uwe Wagner was appointed Chief Sales Officer (CSO) in 2013. In early 2017, Uwe Wagner took over the technological management of the Chemnitz-based mechanical engineering company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In the same year, he was appointed to the Management Board.

Tino Petsch and the Supervisory Board of 3D-Micromac agree: "With his industry experience and many years in the management of 3D-Micromac AG, Uwe Wagner is ideally qualified to successfully continue the company's current path and to establish 3D-Micromac even more firmly as an innovator in growth markets such as the semiconductor and display industries. We put our trust in him and wish him every success."

Uwe Wagner and the Supervisory Board of the company would like to thank Tino Petsch for his extraordinary commitment over the past years and wish him all the best for the future, both privately and professionally.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
