About us / Portrait

We are the leading European experts in our field! Laser 2000 is based in the German municipality of Wessling, an area known for its five lakes. Our headquarters are also conveniently located in the conurbation area of Munich. We think globally and act locally. In order to meet the individual market and customer requirements in every country we serve, our contact persons throughout Europe provide you with support directly on site. At our company, we focus on innovation, top quality, and, above all, on encouraging the knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm of our employees. Our excellent team of qualified natural scientists and ones with doctorate degrees, all of whom have an enormous wealth of experience, help you determine which requirements you should take into account. Our passion for the fascinating world of photons serves as the basis for the way we think and act. In keeping with that, our goal is to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction and further expand our leading position on the European photonics market in the ‘century of photons.’

Laser 2000 was founded in 1986 by Armin Luft in Munich, Germany. Since then, the company has grown steadily and expanded throughout Europe. With offices in almost all relevant European countries, the company is now by far the largest sales company in the field of photonics. Over the past 30 years, the company has made a name for itself as a professional consultant and supplier of innovative laser and photonic solutions.

Based on manufacturer-independent system solutions, the company works together with the world’s most innovative manufacturers to provide optimal solutions for customers and their applications. Our employees have already successfully advised more than 14,000 customers, and sell products and solutions to them in 60 countries around the world.

Photonics is a cross-sectional technology that is present in all major industries today, and which enjoys far-above-average growth. Various fields, such as mechanical engineering, medical technology, sensor technology, test and measurement technology, telecommunications, analytics, image processing, data transmission, material processing, safety engineering, aerospace, and much more, increasingly rely on the benefits of photonic solutions.

• Lasers are ubiquitous tools; they make data transmission and broadband Internet possible. Through the use of lasers and fiber optic networks, the volume of data transferred worldwide was increased by a factor of 10 million over the past ten years.
• Efficiency, precision, and quality in industrial production have also rapidly developed as a result of laser technology. Thanks to laser-based manufacturing processes, the storage capacity of chips doubles each year.
• Through the use of various laser sources, microscopy has made important strides in the investigation of living cells, the deepening of scientific knowledge, and the development of medical diagnostics. Fiber optics enable minimally invasive surgery.
• Optical sensor technology is revolutionizing conventional mechanical sensor technologies due to its EMV immunity.
• Autonomous driving is made possible through photonics, and automation technology and many other fields are increasingly making use of photonic technologies.
• Optical data networks form the backbone and the basis for Industry 4.0.

We have now left the ‘century of electronics’ and entered the century of photonics.
