Hanover-based LaserOptik focuses on the development and production of optical coatings and components for high-power laser applications in industry, medicine and research. CEO Wolfgang Ebert (he semi-jokes that the acronym also stands for Coating Excellence Officer) took over the general management of the business from his father, Johannes Ebert, who founded the business in 1984.

Innovations driven by Wolfgang Ebert’s leadership include coatings for ultra-low losses as well as coatings for large area substrates.
