AMS’ distribution agreement for QPC Lasers expanded to UK/Ireland, France and Spain

European component distributor AMS Technologies of of Martinsried near Munich, Germany has expanded its distribution agreement with Laser Operations LLC of Sylmar, CA, USA (which manufactures the QPC Lasers high-brightness product line) to add UK/Ireland, France and Spain. The firms says that the new agreement emphasizes Laser Operations’ commitment to the region and leverages AMS’ strength in providing local, knowledge-based sales support backed up with a pan-European marketing and administration.

Laser Operations acquired Sylmar-based QPC Lasers Inc (which manufactures high-power diode lasers for the consumer electronics, industrial, defense, and medical markets) in May after QPC defaulted on loan interest payment last Autumn.

“AMS Technologies has successfully distributed QPC Lasers for several years, even through uncertainties,” says Thomas Moritz, European sales manager for AMS Technologies' OptoTech Division. “AMS Technologies has developed business in a wide range of applications, becoming one of QPC’s most important partners. This agreement builds upon that foundation,” he adds.

“AMS Technologies has been very instrumental in developing a strong presence in Germany and neighbouring countries for the QPC high-brightness diode laser products over the years,” concurs Laurent Vaissie, Laser Operations’ VP sales & marketing. “As we enter a new stage of growth as part of Laser Operations LLC, we are pleased to recognize AMS Technologies’ contribution to our growing leadership in European medical and industrial markets as well as unwavering support during our recent restructuring efforts,” he adds.
