Jenoptik (Jupiter, FL) appointed three international executives to their executive management board, effective immediately:
- Albert Miranda, the president of Jenoptik North America, based in Jupiter, FL
- Kevin Chevis, the head of the Traffic Solutions division and director of the division’s subsidiary in Frimley, UK
- Jonathan Qu, the president of Jenoptik Asia, headquartered in Shanghai, China
“Being international isn’t only a question of being present in main regions, but also of operating internationally. It is important to us to promote intercultural exchange and local decisions. As a starting point, we adapt our management structures,” explained Stefan Traeger, the president and chief executive officer of Jenoptik. Their focus will be on developing a corporate culture that influences more innovation and internationalization. The company will establish or expand local research and development teams and production facilities in all major markets. In addition, at least one photonic division will be headquartered outside Germany.
“More Light,” the motto of their Strategy 2022, represents the strength and basis of Jenoptik’s core competencies: photonic technologies, which affect almost all areas of society. The global photonics market is estimated to reach a volume of around over 600 billion euros and is growing twice as fast as total global economic output. “These facts are good preconditions for our future growth,” added Traeger.
