Having acquired JK Lasers from GSI in April 2015, SPI Lasers also acquired their established CO2 business. As a leading provider of fiber lasers with challenging strategic goals in this market, the company says a decision was made to remain focused on their core fiber products, and an agreement has been reached to sell the CO2 business to Suzhou Tianhong Laser, while ensuring that existing customers continue to receive the exceptional levels of service and support they have become accustomed to.
