About GFH GmbH
GFH GmbH is a company based in Deggendorf specializing in laser micromachining. The company develops and manufactures highly precise laser micromachining systems with ultrashort-pulse lasers in series production; a modular machine concept allows application-specific equipment configurations. In addition, GFH offers contract manufacturing and supports customers from process development through to the finished component, drawing on its own laser systems as well as process expertise accumulated over more than 20 years of laser micromachining. The ultrashort-pulse processes are used for drilling, cutting, turning and ablation; since ultrashort laser pulses vaporize the material, virtually all materials can be machined. The technologies are aimed at industries characterized by advancing miniaturization, rising quality requirements and new high-tech materials. According to its own statements, the company supplies customers worldwide.
