2021 is coming to an end.
In the name of all our employees, we would like to thank all our customers and business partners for the trusting and appreciative cooperation.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy and above all healthy New Year.
We will be closed for holidays from 24 December 2021 until 2 January 2022.
In plastics technology, the choice of material is decisive for the efficiency of a product. In this context, transparent materials in particular present specific challenges.
On 27 and 28 September 2021, the Kunststoff-Zentrum Leipzig (KUZ) will be devoting its conference "IM FOKUS" to transparent plastics in the injection molding process. Participants from the plastics processing and application industry and research will discuss the characteristics, possible applications, potentials and also limits of these materials. As an expert in the processing of transparent plastics, VIAOPTIC will be highlighting the special features of these materials in the optical design process and the opportunities they offer in its specialist presentation "Optical design with polymer optics".
We are looking forward to a lively exchange and many new impulses.
VIAOPTIC GmbH is looking forward to being part of the #IVAM Hightech Summit 2021!
As part of the Optence e.V. optics and photonics session, our CEO Bernhard Willnauer will highlight the advantages and challenges of miniaturised plastic optics in his presentation "Microlenses Made of Plastic".

Over the past 100 years, polymers have replaced a wide variety of materials in many areas of life.
The article "Glasklare Vorteile in vielen Anwendungen" in the recently published issue of the magazine K-Profi looks at how plastics compete with glass.
VIAOPTIC also plays a role: In an interview with Managing Director Bernhard Willnauer, the article shows the advantages and possibilities offered by plastics in optics, the challenges that still exist and the future trends that are emerging in this area. Worth reading!

Innovations in the various areas of optical manufacturing will once again be the focus of this year's Wetzlar Autumn Meeting. The anniversary event offers an international conference program, an accompanying exhibition and a variety of networking opportunities.
In the context of the lecture "High temperature resistant antireflection coatings on plastic optics" Bernhard Willnauer, Managing Director of VIAOPTIC, will highlight different processes for antireflective coating of optical plastics and present innovative solutions.
Meet us on September 29 and 30, 2020 at Wetzlar Town Hall!
Microoptics play a crucial role in today's world. Innovative applications in the automotive, sensor, medical and consumer electronics sectors can often only be realized with the help of highly miniaturized optical components.
The online version of the "Photonics Hub Symposium - Microoptics 2020" on April 28, 2020 will bring together participants from industry and research for an intensive exchange.
Bernhard Willnauer, Managing Director of VIAOPTIC, will give an overview of the manufacturing processes, achievable tolerances, the fields of application of plastic microoptics and their limitations in his lecture "Possibilities and limits of plastic microoptics".
From 18 to 21 November 2019, VIAOPTIC presented itself to the international audience at the leading trade fair for the medical technology supplier market in Düsseldorf.
At the joint IVAM pavilion, our experts informed trade visitors about precision optics and customized solutions for surgical and diagnostic lamps as well as for a wide range of diagnostic and laboratory analysis applications. At the accompanying COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM by IVAM Philipp Neuhaus showed the specific requirements for the production of components for medical devices in the context of his expert lecture "Challenges at process validation of optical injection molded parts". "The trade fair provided us with an excellent opportunity to gain an overview of the trends in medical technology and to talk to international customers and suppliers," said CEO Bernhard Willnauer.
Almost 800 exhibitors from 41 nations met product developers and top decision-makers from the medical technology industry at the COMPAMED, which took place parallel to MEDICA. The next COMPAMED will take place in November 2020.
From September 23rd until 25th 2019, the leading heads of the industry met in Darmstadt at the ISAL 2019 for the most important conference in the field of automotive lighting technology to present their latest research results and developments.
As a supplier of components for lighting applications for the automotive industry, VIAOPTIC presented its high-precision polymer optics, its expertise in optic design and antireflection-coated components.
CEO Bernhard Willnauer drew a very positive conclusion. VIAOPTIC was able to take many interesting impulses from Darmstadt. With regard to future challenges such as communication between autonomous vehicles, the improvement of driving comfort and traffic safety through adaptive high beam or light projections onto the road, VIAOPTIC sees itself positioned very well. "The fact that VIAOPTIC’s innovative and sophisticated high-performance products meet the high demands of our customers has been confirmed in Darmstadt once again,” said Willnauer.
The ISAL is organized by the Laboratory of Lighting Technology of the TU Darmstadt and takes place every two years. It is a meeting place for around 1000 international designers, engineers, scientists and decision-makers.
It is tradition for a long time already. Also this year VIAOPTIC took part in one of the largest sports event in Middle Hessen. 13 running-enthusiastic colleagues joined this event and run the two-kilometer circuit through the old town of Wetzlar in fine summer weather. In the end, the VIAOPTIC teams were happy about a total managed number of 28 laps. The success was celebrated with a dinner.
“We are always looking forward to being part of this event,” says Bernhard Willnauer, CEO of VIAOPTIC. “The Brückenlauf offers a great team experience – and it’s a great feeling to work together for a good cause”.
A total of 3900 runners from companies, clubs, schools and authorities in the region competed in the 20th Wetzlarer Brückenlauf. This year, the entry fees raised an amount of 2715 €, which will be donated to a Dance Project at the Fröbel School.
