TechInvest Holding, parent company of Scanlab, akquires 25 Percent of shares of HOLO / OR Ltd. The Israeli company is known as a pioneer in the development of diffractive optical elements for industrial applications. By integrating the micro-optic components, or better known as the beam shaper, Scanlab can multiply the use of its scan functions. Diffractive optical elements (DOE) can be used to shape laser beam sight through diffraction effects. With DOEs, the diffractive effect is improved by a microstructure that is etched in a substrate using a lith-controlled method. Glass can serve as a substrate, but plastics, metals or semiconductors can also be used. It is precisely in this market segment that the Israeli company is an experienced player and market leader.

TechInvest Holding, the parent company of Scanlab GmbH, bought a quarter of the shares in HOLO / OR in August 2020. TechInvest wants to acquire the rest of the shares in the coming years.
