GSI Group Laser Division gets new name

The GSI Group Laser Division, a manufacturer of CO2, Nd:YAG, and fiber lasers for industrial applications, has rebranded as JK Lasers.

Established in 1972, the company began as a manufacturer of pulsed lasers, followed by Nd:YAG systems for welding, cutting, and drilling. In 1982 the company was acquired by Lumonics of Canada and developed and installed the world’s first fiber-optic delivery system on a solid-state laser.

Lumonics merged with GSI in 1999 and, following the sale of the Lumonics brand, the laser segment of the business changed its name to the GSI Group Laser Division.
