Excelitas Technologies, industrial technology manufacturer focused on delivering photonic solutions, has completed the acquisition of Phoseon Technology, Hillsboro, OR, USA on February 15, 2023. 

Paul Brierley, vice president Lighting at Excelitas Technologies, said: ‘I am delighted to welcome the Phoseon team to the Excelitas family. Phoseon’s core capabilities in LED innovation and manufacturing ideally complement our existing technology offering and provide an excellent opportunity for expanded R&D cooperation to better serve our customers.’ 

‘Furthermore, Phoseon’s compelling standard product portfolio promises tremendous growth when combined with our expansive global channel sales network. We are enthused with the prospect of offering the markets our extensive reach and broader range of UV LED solutions.’  

Phoseon joins Excelitas’ commercial business unit and will continue to operate from its headquarters in Hillsboro, OR, extending Excelitas’ geographic footprint into the Pacific Northwest. 

Bill Cortelyou, president and CEO of Phoseon Technology, said: ‘Phoseon’s market strength in UV curing for the printing, coatings and finishing sectors is a perfect fit with Excelitas’ proven leadership in UV curing for the medical device and electronics manufacturing space.
