Copenhagen, Denmark--Ibsen Photonics A/S and FOSS A/S have announced that FOSS has become main shareholder in Ibsen Photonics through a purchase of an additional 73% of Ibsen Photonics shares from existing shareholders. FOSS now owns around 85% of the shares in Ibsen. The investment reflects a growing partnership over the last years between the two companies.
Ibsen Photonics supplies holographic, fused silica transmission gratings and spectrometer modules for a wide range of telecom, analytical, sensing and laser markets and its products are used by FOSS in its range of analytical instruments--by becoming the main shareholder, FOSS secures the continued supply of high quality spectrometers, according to a company press release
Kim Vejlby Hansen, Executive VP Innovation & Quality at FOSS and Chairman at Ibsen, explained, "We have worked with Ibsen for some years now and have found their spectrometer solutions to be second-to-none. This is partly based on exceptional grating technology and optical design know-how, and partly based on Ibsen's unique resolve to collaborate with its customers to find win-win solutions. We are confident that Ibsen has the necessary backing to grow the business and be a profitable investment for FOSS."
"We at Ibsen see this deal as proof that superior technology combined with customer support and collaboration is the right approach to securing a long-term, profitable growth," said Torben Jacobsen, President and CEO of Ibsen, adding, "with the backing of the FOSS group we have the muscle to further develop all our businesses--gratings, interrogation monitors and spectrometers--to support all our customers worldwide with our usual dedication."
