The story of LASER COMPONENTS Canada began more than a decade ago: It was a time when it was difficult to obtain start-up capital from banks in connection with optoelectronics after so many people lost their money with a big bang in the telecommunications industry.
LASER COMPONENTS GmbH invested in and reached an agreement with Paul Rainbow to found a company to develop and manufacture pulsed laser diodes. LASER COMPONENTS provided the capital and an internationally operating sales network; Paul Rainbow provided the knowhow, decades of personal experience, and the most important factor: a team that works well together! Now, 13 years and several million laser diodes later, Mr. Rainbow will be passing the reigns as the general manager of a successful and economically sound company to Jeff Britton, who was a member of the original founding team and was responsible for production from the very beginning.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Rainbow for his excellent work and his entrepreneurial spirit, which he has proven time and time again. He can be very proud of what he has accomplished. Simultaneously, we wish Jeff Britton all the best in his new position and the same magical touch with which his predecessor was blessed. He will always have the support of LC GmbH and the rest of the LC group.
Paul Rainbow will be with the company for the coming years as chairman of the board and will take care of special development projects. We look forward to working with him in this capacity in the future.
