Powerlase raises £7mn venture capital

London, 19 January 2005

Powerlase, the developer of industrial solid state laser systems, has attracted a £7m pan-European investment led by Deutsche Venture Capital and MTI Partners, supported by Alice Ventures of Milan, and with continuing commitment from existing Powerlase investors, including Cazenove Private Equity and FNI Venture Capital. Powerlase was advised by FirstCapital.

The Powerlase range of High Power Solid State Diode Pumped lasers offer advantages to many industrial sectors where high average power is needed for volume production. The technology can also deliver the laser beams via fiber optics, providing great flexibility to systems integrators. Market applications include display manufacturing; microelectronics; PCB production; aerospace, and the machine tool industry.

Powerlase lasers combine high average power and short nanosecond pulses, not previously available together, and feature energy conversion efficiencies up to double that of industry norms.

The funding will aid Powerlase's expansion of its manufacturing operations and finance further growth in laser development for industrial materials processing.

David Ward, Partner at MTI said: "Powerlase is a great example of the type of company that MTI gets excited about, as it combines state of the art technology with a major current and future corporate marketplace. The co-lead investors bring complementary skills to the company. Powerlase will benefit from both DVC's excellent knowledge of the industrial laser marketplace in Germany, and MTI's hands-on investment style, based on the international operating experience of the MTI team."

Cyril Bertrand, Partner at DVC Deutsche Venture Capital said: "With this round of financing, DVC is proud of contributing to the commercial expansion and partnership strategy of Powerlase. The company is now well equipped to provide its growing customer base with the highest standards of support, integration and maintainence services that such Tier-1 customers require. We at DVC are also delighted to work with such respected institutions as MTI Partners, Alice Ventures, FNI and Cazenove: with this consortium on board, the outstanding technology of Powerlase resides on a solid financial basis".

Terry Nowell, CEO of Powerlase, said: "The combination of key scientific technology, a strong investor base, and collaborative work with multinational partners places Powerlase at the forefront of industrial laser technology. We are particularly pleased to enjoy the continued support of existing investors, along with the new investors in a syndicate for this round".

Hazel Moore, Chairman of FirstCapital, said "Powerlase has a highly differentiated product and is making excellent inroads into several large, rapidly growing markets. The combination of skills and experience brought by the new investors, together with the strength of the existing investor base and management team, provides a solid base for rapid growth and expansion."

David Ward and Cyril Bertrand will join the Board of Powerlase.
