JK Lasers Appoints a new German Sales Manager

Dipl.-ing Michael Haase trained as a mechanical engineer and has ten years’ experience in the laser industry. After working for the R&D Institute at the Laser Zentrum, Hannover, he established his own laser company H2B Photonics. When the company was acquired by ROFIN-BAASEL Lasertech, Michael went on to work as their solar industry sales manager.

He was instrumental in the development and commercialisation of new laser processing methods within these roles, and consequently has a broad knowledge of laser technology, including fiber and Nd:YAG.

Paul Ferris, Worldwide Sales Director for JK Lasers, said: “Michael is a valuable asset to JK Lasers and we are delighted he has joined our team. Customers in Germany will undoubtedly benefit from his depth of industry knowledge and understanding of the German marketplace.”

Based in Planegg, near Munich, Michael will provide sales and technical support to customers throughout Germany.

He said: “JK Lasers offers a rapidly expanding range of innovative lasers, which is why the role appealed to me. I look forward to promoting the exceptional processing power of its Nd:YAG and fiber lasers to customers in Germany.”

JK Lasers, part of the GSI Group, manufactures Watt to kiloWatt fiber lasers, Nd:YAG lasers and process tools that operate around-the-clock in industrial environments. A new range of powerful multi-kiloWatt class fiber lasers will be added later this year.
