Celebrating 10 years of innovation and passion: a decade of precision and growth

Emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing request commitment to innovation. Check out the editorial of Nicoletta Casanova, CEO of FEMTOprint, where she reflects on the company´s journey from a small Swiss venture to a global leader in high-precision glass micro-manufacturing and how glass is now essential within these exciting upcoming technologies

As we mark our 10-year anniversary, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey we’ve undertaken in the high-precision glass micro-manufacturing industry. What began as a small Swiss venture, originally a spin-off from a European project, has evolved into a global leader, renowned for pushing the limits of what’s possible in glass micro-technology. Today, our expertise and commitment to innovation are recognized worldwide, fueling our growth and continued progress.

This milestone is particularly special as it coincides with the opening of our new headquarters. This state-of-the-art facility is far more than just a building; it’s a testament to our dedication to excellence and our readiness for the future. With expanded R&D capabilities and increased production capacity, we are primed to lead in the rapidly evolving field of glass micro-manufacturing.

Even in the face of recent market slowdowns impacting our sector, we remain focused on investing in our future. I believe this is the ideal time for us to prepare and push forward. Times of uncertainty create the perfect opportunity to strengthen our internal competencies, refine our processes, and advance our research and development efforts. Through these efforts, we are laying the foundation for further growth and preparing to seize new opportunities as they arise across emerging fields.

Over the past decade, we have made substantial investments to remain agile, innovative, and competitive. From upgrading our production lines to advancing the skills of our workforce, we are committed to staying ahead in this competitive landscape. We are prepared to face future challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.

One of the most exciting developments on the horizon is the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. These advancements represent a profound shift in how industries will operate in the future, and our technology is already playing a crucial role in enabling these transformations. Glass, a material often viewed as traditional, is now essential in developing cutting-edge technologies.

Our unique expertise in glass micro-manufacturing enables us to produce the precise, durable components needed for AI and quantum computing systems. As these sectors expand, we are positioning ourselves as a vital partner for leading tech companies around the world. Our commitment to creating tailored glass solutions ensures we remain at the forefront of innovation.

Looking to the future, we are entering a period of significant transformation. The convergence of emerging technologies and evolving market dynamics brings both challenges and opportunities. Yet I am confident that our dedication to innovation, precision, and collaboration will continue to set us apart.

The past decade has been marked by commitment, achievement, and growth, and I am confident that the next ten years will be even more remarkable. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our Clients, Partners, and Employees for their ongoing trust and collaboration. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in glass micro-manufacturing and help shape the future of this exciting industry.

To the next chapter!
