"This volume order was received earlier than expected after the formation of the joint venture in 2009 and was a consistent step along our internationalization strategy. It is therefore a major milestone proving the concept to provide module and system level solutions to hightech customers in Israel with the benefit of being close to customers as a local partner" said Dr. Dirk Rothweiler, Executive Vice President of Jenoptik's Optical Systems division.
Kobi Franken, chairman of Dagesh F.K. added: "We are delighted that we could prove our assembly and testing capabilities to a key player in medical instrumentation, and we are ready to deliver the high volume our customer expects after the ongoing market launch of this innovative medical instrument."
