Edmund Optics has acquired the high-tech company Son-x. The Aachen-based company, a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute, is a pioneer in the ultrasound-assisted production of precision optics. By integrating Son-x's technology, Edmund Optics can now process highly complex surfaces with multiple axes, from micro-components to large-format workpieces.

CEO Marisa Edmund emphasizes that this partnership advances the mission to provide leading high-precision optical solutions. Dr. Olaf Dambon of Son-x is excited about the new opportunities provided by Edmund Optics' global reach. The acquisition underscores Edmund Optics' long-term vision to expand its innovation leadership and better serve customers worldwide.
