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.
