LEADING INDUSTRY EXPERT DR. ANDREW GILLOOLY APPOINTED NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR
We are proud to announce, that Dr. Andrew Gillooly will become the new Managing Director Sales & Business Development, taking over responsibility for all sales and business development activities of the engionic group.
Andy looks back on twenty-four years of relevant industry and technology experience and is a highly recognized fiber optics expert. He will strongly support the ambitious growth plan of the engionic group and support the development of new fiber optic products and applications.
Mark Thielenhaus, CEO of the group’s holding company engionic AG, says: “I’ve known Andy for more than 10 years and I have always very much enjoyed our fruitful co-operation as well as Andy’s outstanding know-how about fiber optical technologies, their applications and the industry. Hence, I am very glad, that Andy will contribute these assets and his strong managerial capabilities to his new role. But even more, I am looking forward to jointly shape the future of the engionic group and to write the next chapter of the engionic journey! Welcome on board Andy!”
Andy will join our team at Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco and is looking forward to meeting you there!
“Having watched engionic’s success story over the last 10 years, I am delighted to be joining the engionic family, following in the footsteps of the original pioneers of femtosecond Fiber Bragg Gratings. The broad capabilities of the group, from CNC machining through to fiber optic assemblies, offers a stable foundation and enables synergies from which to further drive the engionic success story alongside Margarethe, Mark and the wider team” Andy states.
Dr. Margarethe Kampling will hand over her sales team responsibility to Andy in March and ensure a smooth and effective transition until the end of 2025. Thereafter, she plans to give her career a more scientific direction but will continue to support the engionic group on a consulting basis. “Over more than 12 years, Margarethe has performed an outstanding job to develop and form the engionic group. Under her sales responsibility, the group managed to triple its business – thank you Margarethe for this great success! Therefore, I am very pleased to continue our co-operation also beyond 2025.” says Mark Thielenhaus.

SPIE PHOTONICS WEST 2025
Meet us from January 28th until 30th, 2025 at SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco.
The engionic Group warmly welcomes you to the German Pavilion, booth no. 4205-27. This year we are once again pleased to present our latest product innovations in the area of fs-laser-written fiber Bragg gratings, temperature and strain sensors as well as high-precision light guides at the world's largest photonic trade fair.
PRODUCT SPECIAL: FBG WAVELENGTH LOCKERS FOR LASER DIODES WITH UNSEEN CUSTOMIZATION FLEXIBILITY
We have further developed and optimized our well-established fs-laser-based fiber bragg grating (FBG) inscription technology to efficiently produce low loss FBG-based wavelength lockers for laser diodes. Our entire manufacturing set-up is designed for cost-optimized volume manufacturing and allows us to offer wavelength lockers at much lower costs compared to established “standard” laser FBG manufacturing technologies, e.g. we do not require phase masks to vary wavelengths.
Our inscription process gives our valued customers a maximum flexibility regarding the desired wavelength and fiber types, since we do not require any Germanium doping of the fiber.
What are wavelength lockers used for? The wavelength of a pump laser diode varies with its operating temperature. Therefore a FBG-based wavelength locker with low reflectivity is used to stabilize the wavelength and intensity of the laser. Numerous well-reckoned laser manufacturers have already qualified our wavelength lockers and receive regular shipments for their laser products.
Please contact our sales team to learn more about the benefits of our products or to arrange a personal meeting at the German Pavilion.

REBRANDING | ENGIONIC GROUP COMPANIES HAVE BEEN RENAMED
The engionic group companies Loptek GmbH, FemtoFiberTec GmbH and Kiessig CNC-Zerspanung GmbH can – in the most positive sense – look back on an eventful year 2021.
- all group companies closed the year 2021 as the most successful year in our history
- the international expansion, especially to China and North America, is making great progress
- the production capacities of our growth businesses were successfully expanded by up to +70% in 2021
Furthermore, engionic AG, as the groups shareholding corporation, was able to successfully acquire the outstanding 50% of the shares of FemtoFiberTec GmbH from its co-investors in June 2021. This will allow us to fully leverage the synergies within the group of companies and along our integrated value chain.
It is therefore only consistent to harmonize and align the brand management of the group companies. We have changed the company names within the group as follows:
- Loptek GmbH is now engionic Fiber Optics GmbH | Website
- FemtoFiberTec GmbH is now engionic Femto Gratings GmbH | Website
- Kiessig CNC-Zerspanung GmbH is now engionic CNC GmbH | Website
- engionic AG as a pure holding company will maintain its branding
With this important step forward, we want to strengthen the recognition of our core brand engionic in our core markets and towards our valued partners. Additionally, we want to reduce the complexity that has resulted from the management of the different brands within the group. The legal autonomy and independence of the individual group companies will remain unchanged.
We are looking forward to a successful year 2022 and would be delighted to intensify and expand our partnership.
