Acquisition will strengthen market position in optical coating
INFICON has acquired the assets of Maxtek Inc.
The acquisition will strengthen the company's position in measurement and control products in the optical coating market, already an important area for INFICON."Our acquisition of Maxtek is a strategic addition to INFICON's existing product portfolio," Lukas Winkler, president and chief executive officer, commented. "We will continue to offer the Maxtek instruments to our customers. Maxtek's reputation and products complement INFICON instruments, enabling us to provide a more complete product range for thin film coating processes which are vital for the manufacturing of eyeglasses and precision optic products. This is a further step of the initiative we began last year with the acquisition of our raw quartz crystal supplier to maximise the contribution of these long-standing INFICON products and better serve our customers."
