FOCUS GmbH<\/a>, Ger\u00e4te zur Elektronenspektroskopie und Oberfl\u00e4chenanalytik GmbH, as a leading manufacturer of momentum microscopes, spin filters, electron beam evaporators, UV sources and vacuum-based electron beam and laser welding systems, and SPECS Surface Nano Analysis GmbH<\/a>, as a leading manufacturer of surface analysis components and systems as well as control systems for scanning probe microscopy, both subsidiaries of LAB14 GmbH<\/a>, are pleased to announce that, through the merger of the two companies, they will operate jointly under the company name SPECS Surface Nano Analysis GmbH with immediate effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This will result in unique products with maximum benefit for the customers, making optimal use of their respective technological leadership in the areas of surface analysis and surface processing. The location of the previous FOCUS GmbH in Huenstetten with all jobs will be fully retained and will continue to operate as a business unit of SPECS GmbH with its own premises. The companies are also merging while retaining their respective brand identities. As a result, SPECS GmbH, as SPECSGROUP, now offers instruments from the FOCUS, Nanonis, Enviro and SPECS brands from a single source. The respective product portfolios will be retained. In addition, a joint future strategy is being developed that will enable the stability and growth of all three locations in H\u00fcnstetten, Zurich and Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Wynaendts van Resandt, CEO of Lab14, is proud that

\u201cLab14’s goal of bringing together highly innovative companies in the field of structuring, processing and analysis of modern semiconductors and other functional materials and developing them into undisputed market leaders in their respective fields by using shared resources and supporting individual strategic projects is clearly being achieved here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marten Patt, former CEO of FOCUS GmbH and new site manager in Huenstetten, sees

“that the benefits of the synergies within the expanded company framework will improve future sales and production of established products, such as the NanoESCA MARIS, the TOF-MARIS, the EFM evaporators, the HIS UV sources and the Powerbeam welding systems. The name FOCUS will continue to stand for first-class products and components in the field of highly specialized surface processing, preparation and analysis.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Andreas Thi\u00dfen, CEO of SPECS GmbH, knows that

“a company with two sites and several subsidiaries that concentrate on their respective strengths while making the best possible use of existing capacities is better positioned for all our customer services. An entity is created that defines what is technologically feasible an thus being able to offer tailor-made solutions and services for the scientific and metrological challenges of the future.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is clear that the focus of the merger is on the customers. Therefore, the excellent support of FOCUS and SPECSGROUP will of course be continued after the merger by the respective business units in the same excellent quality by the usual contact persons. This applies to all customers who have purchased FOCUS or SPECSGROUP products over the past decades directly or via sales or OEM partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es werden unter optimaler Ausnutzung ihrer jeweiligen Technologief\u00fchrerschaft in den Bereichen der Oberfl\u00e4chenanalytik und Oberfl\u00e4chenbearbeitung einzigartige Produkte mit maximalem Kundennutzen angeboten werden. Der Standort der bisherigen FOCUS GmbH in H\u00fcnstetten mit allen Arbeitspl\u00e4tzen bleibt dabei vollst\u00e4ndig erhalten und wird als Gesch\u00e4ftsfeldeinheit der SPECS GmbH mit eigener Betriebsst\u00e4tte weitergef\u00fchrt. Ebenso verschmelzen die Firmen unter Beibehaltung ihrer jeweiligen Markenidentit\u00e4ten und ihrer Produktportfolios. Damit bietet die SPECS GmbH als SPECSGROUP nun Instrumente der Marken FOCUS, Nanonis, Enviro und SPECS aus einer Hand an.
