A relatively unknown
subsidiary of Leica is Leica Camera LC Light & Imaging Systems. Based in Munich, Germany, they develop
tailor-made optical systems for industrial applications.
With this company Leica
Camera AG wants to strengthen its international B2B business. Since January 2017 Dipl.-Ing. Jakob Bleicher
has been leading the wholly-owned Leica subsidiary.
Dipl.-Ing. Jakob Bleicher
The eight-strong team of
experts has many years of experience in the areas of industrial optics, photo
and lab technology as well as in the acquisition and consulting of
international B2B customers in the optical and optoelectronic industry.
Among other things, the
team at LC Light & Imaging Systems GmbH will use the state-of-the-art
production capabilities of Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar and their second factory
in Portugal to produce industrial optics. The emphasis is on the
customer-specific development of optical systems for industrial applications, such
as 3D surveying and high-performance inspection.
Leica is pleased to work
with their colleagues at LC Light & Imaging Systems to expand their
international industrial business and to bundle their expertise. Especially in
close cooperation with the production sites of Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar and
Portugal, they see great potential to leverage existing synergies
Jakob Bleicher, Managing
Director of LC Light & Imaging Systems GmbH, explained: "From Munich's
point of view, the establishment of the LC LIS is very beneficial for the
customers. With the two high-tech production facilities at Leica Camera AG, we
now have the opportunity to offer the complete product cycle from the design of
optics to the design up to the pattern and serial production of high-end
lenses. "
This move once again shows
the farsightedness of Leica to avoid being caught up in a shrinking
photographic market, something experienced by many of their competitors. In recent weeks we saw considerable layoffs,
restructuring of photo and camera divisions and even the announcements of
companies leaving the photographic and camera market altogether. By diversifying what they have to offer their
customers, Leica is proactive in the changing world of optical companies.
