Evosys establishes Attosys Laser subsidiary
Evosys Laser has founded Attosys Laser GmbH in Erlangen to expand its portfolio of laser-based manufacturing processes. The subsidiary focuses on glass processing, material joining and precision machining for demanding applications.
Evosys Laser GmbH has expanded its technology portfolio with the establishment of Attosys Laser GmbH, founded in July 2026. The new subsidiary, based in Erlangen, focuses on laser-based manufacturing processes for demanding applications in micro- and macro-machining. Its activities cover processes including laser welding, laser structuring, laser cutting and laser drilling. A particular focus is the hermetic joining of glass components and the joining of dissimilar materials. This includes glass welding, glass-to-metal welding and glass-to-silicon welding, with applications particularly in medical technology, microsystems technology and the semiconductor industry. Attosys also offers solutions for processing plastics, as well as for cutting and structuring glass, metal and ceramics.
Laser processes for glass and dissimilar materials
The processes developed and offered by Attosys are intended to enable precise cuts with no or minimal heat input, as well as high-accuracy microstructuring. Depending on the design of the thermal process, rounded or sharp-edged holes can be created in glass tubes. Among other technologies, ultra-short-pulse lasers are used. The combination of different laser technologies enables the development of bespoke processes for different materials, component geometries and technical requirements.
"With Attosys Laser GmbH, we are creating an independent platform for laser-based processing methods that opens up new possibilities for challenging material combinations," explains Frank Brunnecker, Managing Director of Evosys Laser GmbH.
The technological advantages of these processes include hermetic joints, high seam strength and low thermal stress on the components. According to the company, this makes it possible to reduce thermal stresses and join different materials without the need for additional adhesives.
Process development and production machinery
"As a subsidiary of the Evosys Group, we can draw on more than 20 years’ experience in specialised machine construction, laser technology and materials processing. This expertise enables us to focus specifically on laser glass welding for demanding applications. At the same time, our customers benefit from a comprehensive range of services – from process development and integration right through to automated production machinery. In this way, we combine specialist expertise with holistic and customer-focused manufacturing solutions," explains Wolfgang Burgmayr, Managing Director of Attosys Laser GmbH.
With a network of universities, technical colleges and laser centres, Attosys aims to support the continuous further development of its processes. Further information on the technologies, products and applications is available at company website.
