Center of Competence: Berliner Glas Surface Technology

As of 01.04.2008, the activities of Berliner Glas subsidiary

TEGLA GmbH will merge with those of Prinz Optics GmbH. The new company will be called “Berliner Glas Herbert Kubatz GmbH & Co. KG, Syrgenstein”. The Managing Director of the new company is Jörg Bannicke and the management team consists of Dr. Axel Reich (Technology and Production) and Siegfried Diesterbeck (Sales and Product Management).

With around 70 members of staff, the new company, “Berliner Glas Herbert Kubatz GmbH & Co. KG, Syrgenstein”, will become operationally active on 01.04.2008, replacing TEGLA GmbH. Prinz Optics GmbH will be merged with the new company.

With four production sites in Germany, the companies in our Technical Glass division offer the entire spectrum of glass refinement services. With the new structure resulting from the merger between Prinz Optics GmbH and TEGLA GmbH, a Center of Competence “Surface Technology” will be created at the Syrgenstein and Stromberg sites focusing on glass etching and Sol-Gel dip coating.

Jörg Bannicke, Managing Director: “The new structure will significantly increase our effectiveness. It will allow us to optimise our range of services and concentrate on the development of our glass etching and coating technologies. The Competence Center “Surface Technology” allows us to achieve synergies and thus exploit new growth potential”.  

Prinz Optics will at the same time take over the distribution of filters for lighting applications and design glass as independent distribution company Prinz Optics Vertriebsgesellschaft GmbH, managed by Peter Röhlen.
