Photonics Group

In Photonics Group we develop and supply highly sophisticated products based on optical fiber technology. We sell our products all over the world and many of our customers are large, global industries. A feature of our products is that in most cases they enable totally new solutions or applications for our customers. The spectrum of application ranges from more efficient use of wind energy and the invention of new medicines to more efficient production processes for making medical components and products to improve safety, security and defence systems. We are proud that our product development can contribute to creating a better and more sustainable basis for development worldwide.  

Innovation
Our parent company has signed the UN Global Compact, underlining its commitment to CSR. This is an initiative we in Photonics Group support wholeheartedly.  

We develop technologically advanced products of high quality and with a high potential utility value for the customer. Many of the applications which our products form part of are the result of a need for better utilization of global resources, improved security of supply of food and energy, or increased safety. Our products are often instrumental in the development of entirely new and innovative final applications. The perspectives, including potential valuation of our business development should therefore be viewed is a longer-term. The emergence of a stable and sustainable society is therefore a vital driving force for us. 

As designers and manufacturers of high-performance products, it is vital to be able to attract and retain skilled and dedicated people. Our products are marketed and sold based on a high quality reputation, and they represent significant input in the form of R&D and investment. It is therefore important that players in our industry are competing on fair terms. Respect for human and employee rights and anti-corruption are thus priority issues for Photonics Group.  

We work with customers who are leading, global professionals. These increasingly demanding customers request products that are more and more environmentally friendly and are produced in a safe and responsible way. We then make corresponding demands towards our supply chain and our business partners.
