Light Blue Optics has opened an engineering and business development facility in the US at Colorado Springs.
According to Light Blue Optics' CEO, Dr. Chris Harris, the creation of the US operation is an important step in the development of the company which develops miniature projection systems.
"The Colorado-based engineering team complements our UK facility in Cambridge, which remains the centre for innovation, new product concepts and European business development," said Harris.
Last October the company secured $26m in venture funding and it is now stepping up product development to bring its miniature projection systems to high volume markets.
“Our new engineering and business development operations in Colorado Springs bring great additional strength to the Group, enabling us to better support our customers in North America and execute our fast-paced product roadmap," said Harris.
As part of a reorganisation the company's director of business development, Dr. Edward Buckley, is being promoted and relocating to the Colorado Springs development facility.
“My relocation is in response to our customers’ requirements and will strengthen LBO’s ability to build strategic relationships and key development partnerships across North America and Asia,” said Harris.
