The Innovation Powerhouse of the New Coherent
On July 1, 2022, the merger between II-VI and Coherent finalized, creating a powerhouse in materials, networking, and lasers. We chose the name Coherent for the combined company because it has a universal meaning to bring things together, and an appeal that we believe will expand our brand recognition. II-VI is recognized as a leader in photonic solutions and compound semiconductors; Coherent is an established industry leader in lasers and laser systems. Together, our combined business will be more distributed across the value chain from materials to components, subsystems, systems, and service.
Here are some key stats:
At the cutting edge of the world’s most transformative technologies
The new Coherent is at the heart of today’s most promising innovations. The confluence of materials, networking, and lasers brings together the key technologies transforming society over the past few decades. These cutting-edge innovations are likely to accelerate their impact in the future.
Around the world, the best minds in research and industry are working to advance the megatrends that promise a better future: the next evolution of the cloud, 3D sensing, electric vehicles, additive manufacturing, the commercialization of space, and the personalization of health care. All of these efforts rely on lasers, optics, advanced electronics, and engineered materials.
Driving innovation at scale, up and down the value chain
The last two years have taught businesses many lessons, and the vulnerability of our existing supply chains tops that list. The new Coherent is vertically integrated at a scale that few companies can achieve. Our integrated business model, coupled with our 100-plus-years of combined expertise, really matters to our customers. Reliability, quality, performance, and the confidence of a global support network – these defined successes for Coherent and II-VI individually. Together, they are a multiplier.
