Jenoptik Opens Dresden-Based Micro-Optics Fab
The Jenoptik Group has completed its micro-optics fabrication site in Dresden, Germany, combining all former operations in the city. Representing an investment of just under €100 million ($113.7 million), the factory employs almost 100 people on a total net floor space of 11,000 sq m, including 2000 sq m for production in ISO 5 and ISO 3 clean rooms. The new location also offers expanded production capacities for micro-optics and micro-optical sensors used in systems for semiconductor lithography and inspection and laser material processing.
According to Saxony's minister president Michael Kretschmer, the facility is expected to contribute to the semiconductor ecosystems of Germany and of Europe as a whole, as well as to European technological sovereignty.
