DEVELOPMENT OF THE CORPORATE GROUP
A success story in the light of innovation
1990 fiberware
The roots of our group go back to 1990, when physicist and fiber optics expert Dr. Georg Kuka founded fiberware in Berlin. His vision: to turn light technology at the cutting edge of science into market-ready applications.
1996 Headquarters Mittweida
A significant step followed in 1996: the company relocated its headquarters to Mittweida - a renowned hub for research and development in laser and optical technologies. This move laid the foundation for a close integration of science, engineering and industrial application.
2003 advanced fiber tools
In the year 2003 we expanded our portfolio by founding advanced fiber tools, with a clear focus on the production of certified medical assemblies, including medical laser probes. As a result, we successfully entered the field of medical technology and established ourselves as a reliable partner
for customized solutions.
2022 Harnessing Light Holding
The next milestone came in 2022: the two companies were integrated into the newly established Harnessing Light Holding. This step united years of collaboration under one strategic umbrella - with the goal of sustainably strengthening the group's shared expertise, innovative power and synergies.
