ANTARES: a retrospective look from 1993 to today

Get informed about the most important points in the history of ANTARES GmbH.

Our History

By the late 1990s we implemented the first laser proof housings for engine builder SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH in Chemnitz which today is an established manufacturer of laser machining systems. We soon realised that the field of laser protection was making completely new demands on our engineers and technicians.

Especially the long standing and close cooperation with the Hochschule Mittweida and particularly the Laserinstitut Mittelsachsen enabled our company to become a competent business partner in the field of laser protection enclosures for subsequent years.

Today, two European patents as well as two utility models regarding appliances for protection against laser radiation illustrate the innovative capacity of ANTARES GmbH. Furthermore, our status as a prime supplier for TRUMPF Laser- und Systemtechnik GmbH in Ditzingen also demonstrates the expertise and capability of our Saxonian company.

You are welcome to take a look at our entire service offering.
