Were you there, too? If not, then we would have to say that you definitely missed something. And we do not just mean NOX the Robot’s performances – although they did fill the Twitter channels as much as the daily news. He amazed the public and proved that – true to his motto – “small components” can have a “MASSIVE IMPACT.”
The congress and trade show filled every last corner of the Moscone Center – this reflects the increasing impact of our industry. As many as 1345 exhibitors and approximately 22,000 visitors were registered. To continue growing, the exhibition area will be expanded; the renovations are expected to be completed in 2017.
The Photonics West trade show is the largest foreign trade fair for the LASER COMPONENTS Group. The photonics industry comes together once a year in San Francisco for an intensive three-day exhibition in which innovations around the world are introduced. LASER COMPONENTS has contributed significantly to these innovations: first and foremost with its new filters for pyroelectric detectors. Read more about them on page 022.
At the trade show, our customers came first; however, we also signed important distribution agreements with our suppliers: InGaAs line arrays from Xenics are now available on the American market – offered exclusively by Laser Components.
The days spent in San Francisco have a much larger impact on the LC Group. We use this event every year to ensure the exchange of cross-company information: therefore, not only colleagues from all of our branch offices are present at the trade show but representatives from all of our production facilities as well. Together we discuss and decide on the expansion of our product range and collect market information to lay the foundation for future growth to make sure that you receive the products you really need.
