New building as a center of innovation

The new building, which will be constructed in the coming months, will not only serve as a physical extension of the company, but also as a center of innovation. In addition to operating a cleanroom for optics production, DIOPTIC GmbH is also planning to integrate optical laboratories for interferometry and optical measurement technology.

“With the new building, we want to create space for creative and innovative ideas for our employees in the truest sense of the word. Seizing these opportunities and successfully contributing their own ideas to the company – in my view, that would be the ultimate win-win situation and my first wish in connection with the new building.” Jean-Michel Asfour reflects.
