Dortmund, Germany--LIMO managing director Lutz Aschke was elected to the board of directors of the Laser Institute of America (LIA; Orlando, FL) for the period 2012 to 2014.

For more than 40 years, the mission of the LIA has been to bring together the best minds in laser technology in cross-continental specialist conferences, to exchange current knowledge on laser technology and their safe usage and thus promote new developments in the laser industry. The next meeting of the international administrative council will take place as part of the International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO) in September 2012 in Anaheim, CA.

At LIMO's headquarters in Dortmund, Germany, an international team of more than 220 engineers, physicists, technicians and many other specialized staff develops refractive micro optics used to shape laser beams for applications in microlithography, medical equipment, flat panel display and photovoltaic production, automotive manufacturing, and all other industries that use high-power lasers.
