The first milestone in its history was made with the development of an argon ion laser for the treatment of patients with glaucoma. The NWL team single-mindedly continued to develop hightech laser systems and came out with the first compact laser marker DALI in 1991. Both product lines – medical and industrial laser systems – were built up intensively during the following years. After a remarkably short time – in 1995 – the company was able to implement thoughts of expansion, which had a very positive effect on the growth of the company and the sales figures. In 2006 the shareholding structure of NWL was rearranged. The NWL Lasertechnologie GmbH and the Photon Energy GmbH will cooperate even closer in the future. Both companies’ customers will benefit from the synergies released. The two companies excellently complement one another, Photon Energy develops and manufactures laser sources, which are then integrated in the NWL laser systems. Today NWL has achieved a strong market position as a specialist and manufacturer of industrial lasers for material processing. The high-quality laser systems are oftenly employed in the production field to ensure fraud resistant product identification. NWL has installed a quality management system and is DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 certified.
