New Hampshire firm acquires Mound Laser

Mound Laser & Photonics Center Inc. has been acquired by a New Hampshire-based medical device manufacturer, company officials announced Tuesday.

Kettering-based Mound Laser was purchased by Resonetics, a laser micromachining company headquartered in Nashua, N.H. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Resonetics provides laser micro manufacturing solutions to the medical device and diagnostic industry. The Mound Laser acquisition will allow Resonetics to expand beyond its current focus on polymers and glass to offer customers a broader array of solutions and material expertise.

“We’re excited about the combined technology, know-how and experience that we can now deploy across a wide range of materials in many of the fastest growing segments of the life sciences industry,” said Tom Burns, Resonetics chief executive, in a statement.

With the acquisition, Resonetics now has the world’s largest capacity of ultrafast laser workstations serving the life sciences industry and can offer customers redundancy with manufacturing sites in the Eastern, Western and Central U.S., officials said.

Mound Laser began in October 1995 as part of the defense conversion of Miamisburg’s Mound Laboratory. The laser processing company now headquartered at Miami Valley Research Park serves the U.S. Department of Defense and clients in the commercial medical devices industry.
