Rofin

Rofin is a brand name associated with laser sources and related equipment used in industrial manufacturing and scientific research. The name became widely recognized through Rofin-Sinar Technologies, a major supplier of laser systems, components, and optics for material processing, marking, micromachining, and measurement. Core offerings have included CO2 lasers, diode-pumped solid-state and fiber lasers, laser diodes, and complete processing solutions, along with laser optics and related instrumentation. Rofin’s products have been used across sectors such as electronics, automotive, packaging, medical devices, and research institutions.

Corporate history and ownership changes have shaped the brand. In 2016, Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Inc. was acquired by Coherent, Inc. for approximately $842 million. Following the acquisition, Rofin’s product lines were integrated into Coherent’s broader laser portfolio, and the Rofin name became part of Coherent’s branding and product strategy. The acquisition reflected a consolidation in the laser industry and expanded Coherent’s capabilities in laser sources and laser-based manufacturing.

Rofin’s legacy in laser technology contributed to advances in industrial laser processing, optical components, and precision manufacturing. The brand is commonly cited in historical and industry contexts as a key player in the development and supply of laser-based solutions for a wide range of applications, and its legacy continues within Coherent’s unified product line.
