Introduction
Leading developer and manufacturer of a breadline of high performance fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and diode lasers used in material processing.
Began operations in 1990 and incorporated in Delaware in 1998. Headquartered in Oxford, Massachusetts.
Fiber lasers, unlike gas (C02) lasers or crystal lasers use semiconductor diodes as the light source to pump specialty optical fibers. The fibers have the diameter comparable to human hair.
Fiber lasers advantages : superior performance, lower cost, ease of use, compact size, wavelength and precision control.

Macroeconomic Overview
Applications of Laser Products
Communication and materials processing segments are the largest in the laser industry
3D laser printing is currently the smallest segment but is rising quick. Its revenue increased 30% in 2014
Industrial Laser Revenues
C02 Lasers make up about 34% of industrial laser’s revenue in 2014
Fiber Laser makes up about 36% of industrial laser’s revenue in 2014
Fiber Laser in industrial laser grew 14% in 2014 and is expected to continue in the coming years
Market Trends
Industrial laser systems account for 14% of global machine tool sales
Revenue growth of 7.93% from 2013-2014
Strong growth is expected to continue due to strong demand for excimer lasers and supplies, essential for manufacturing semiconductors
Material Processing Communication
Revenue grew 3.56% from 2013 to 2014 and is expected to grow at 2.8% per year
Communication segment growth is predicted to slow down slightly in 2015 but will remain strong
Optical Storage Segment growth is expected to be stagnant or negative due to the growing popularity in solid state drive
Automotive Trend
Global vehicle production is forecasted to increase steadily at around 4.8% from 2015-2017
From: Statista
Vertically integrated development and manufacturing
Strong research bringing breath and depth of expertise
Diverse customer base reflecting the diverse applications of lasers
SWOT Analysis
S Litigation expenses due to infringement of intellectual property rights
High level of fixed costs and inventory levels
Limited suppliers
W
Huge opportunity to displace traditional lasers in several applications
Enable use of fiber lasers in new applications
Can expand product portfolio and global to reach
O Markets are competitive characterized by rapidly changing technology
Manufacturing capacity and operations may not be appropriate for future levels of demand
Currency rate risk
T
Porters Five Forces
Single of limited source suppliers for many of the key components and raw materials.
Suppliers might also be key competitors.
Supplier Power – High
Largest customer generates 11% and top 5 generate 20% in revenue.
Diverse range of customers.
Buyer Power – Low
Competed with conventional laser technology and amplifier products
Also compete with non-laser production methods such as water jet cutting etc
Threat of substitution – Moderate to High
Significant price and technology competition within the industry.
They are bigger players like Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Trumpf GmbH etc.
Competitive Rivalry – High
Being a manufacturing and research intensive business it is not easy for new entrants.
Domain expertise is an essential part.
Threat of new Entry – Low to Moderate
