- Areas of technological
expertise extended
- Additional driving force for
the verticalization strategy
- Complementary R&D
capabilities to address new markets
The LUMIBIRD Group, the European leader
for laser technologies, is announcing that it acquired the
Bordeaux-based company
Innoptics on September 22, 2022. Through
this operation, LUMIBIRD will welcome a team of five people with
complementary technological know-how and 12 years’ experience
designing and manufacturing optoelectronic subsystems and
components. This extension of its areas of technological expertise
will enable the Group to ramp up its verticalization strategy,
while developing a new range of products to address new markets,
focusing in particular on low-cost laser segments for higher-volume
markets.
Innoptics: optoelectronic subsystems
and components designer and manufacturer
Innoptics is a company that offers a range of
optoelectronic packaging and bespoke component development services
for industrial clients. It covers design, prototyping, process
development and manufacturing for small to mid-size volumes, as
well as consulting services for industrialization. Integrating an
extensive selection of laser diode technologies across a vast range
of wavelengths, the company develops products for medical, space or
scientific instrumentation applications.
Founded in 2010, Innoptics is based in Talence,
near Bordeaux. It has revenues of just over €300k and five staff,
including four engineers. The two co-founders, Stéphane Denet and
Vincent Lecocq, are committed to this project with LUMIBIRD.
Acquisition of strategic technologies
Through its acquisition of Innoptics’
technologies, the LUMIBIRD Group will be able to integrate advanced
technical development-related expertise covering a specific market
segment. This will enable it to extend the range of products and
related services, building on those already offered by the Group
and Innoptics:
- to meet
LUMIBIRD’s in-house requirements, further strengthening the Group’s
vertical integration;
- and to ramp up
the development of LUMIBIRD’s component sales.
Innoptics thus reinforces Lumibird's low-cost
laser development projects as well as its defense and space
projects.
This operation was carried out in cash, with an
earnout component based on future performance levels, for an amount
that has been kept confidential. The company has been included in
LUMIBIRD’s basis for consolidation since August 31, 2022.
Next date:
Q3 2022 revenues on October 24, 2022 after close
