Modulight focuses on the development and production of lasers and laser systems for biomedical, quantum and other high value add applications. Modulight's product portfolio includes supporting laser solutions such as system integration services and laser design and manufacturing by leveraging the full vertical integration capabilities. The company's own semiconductor laser chip manufacturing facility in Tampere, Finland, enables Modulight to ensure delivery, change control and customized solutions.

Modulight is expanding sales in Europe through a distribution partnership with Laser 2000, a pan European solutions provider for lasers and photonics. The exclusive partnership with Laser 2000 makes Modulight's products available to customers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. Laser 2000 customers include several of the biggest technology companies in Europe. The expectation is that this collaboration with Laser 2000 will open significant sales opportunities for Modulight’s laser technology, as the local market representation provides better exposure in the biophotonics & life science, quantum, sensing, and other markets.

The cooperation with the innovative Finnish manufacturer and developer of semiconductor, fiber, solid state and other lasers results in a great potential for Laser 2000 customers. From the diode to the electronics, software and the finished device, everything is developed and produced in-house at Modulight. Through this holistic approach and in-house production, Modulight not only has complete control over the entire process, but is also very flexible in offering different levels of integration supporting products over lifecycle and providing supply chain security besides constant development.

Modulight also has complete design and manufacturing facilities for assembly and testing of laser systems and subsystems as well as a life science lab for supporting customer application testing. As a solution provider this gives Laser 2000 the opportunity to offer scalable and tailored solutions according to the customer's needs, even custom electronics can be integrated.

“We are excited to start working with Laser 2000. While our direct sales focuses on the US market, we are constantly looking for great distributor partnerships to enable indirect sales in Europe and Asia. Laser 2000 is a very well recognized European Photonics distributor and solution provider with solid reputation in the markets. During their forty years of history, they have created deep customer relationships with several of the largest European companies and Fortune 500 companies. This partnership enables Modulight to have better access to these customers and many more. We are really excited on the new opportunities that this partnership brings to Modulight’s solutions to these customers with the help of Laser 2000,” says Seppo Orsila, founder and CEO of Modulight.
