News › JENOPTIK – New pro­duc­tion faci­lity ope­ned in Dresden

Jen­op­tik AG offi­ci­ally inau­gu­ra­ted its new pro­duc­tion faci­lity for micro-optics in Dres­den on May 6, 2025 – the lar­gest sin­gle invest­ment pro­ject in the com­pany’s recent history with a volume of almost 100 mil­lion euros. The new »Fab« com­bi­nes state-of-the-art pro­duc­tion, rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment areas under one roof and curr­ently employs around 100 people. 

Repre­sen­ta­ti­ves from poli­tics, busi­ness and sci­ence were pre­sent at the ope­ning cerem­ony – inclu­ding Sax­ony’s Minis­ter Pre­si­dent Michael Kret­schmer and Dres­den’s Lord Mayor Dirk Hil­bert. The new fac­tory streng­thens Dres­den’s posi­tion in Euro­pe’s lea­ding semi­con­duc­tor clus­ter »Sili­con Sax­ony« and under­lines Jen­op­ti­k’s role as a dri­ver of inno­va­tion in the field of photonics. 

The fab offers 11,000 m² of floor space, inclu­ding 2,000 m² of clean rooms (ISO 3 and ISO 5), and meets the hig­hest tech­ni­cal and eco­lo­gi­cal stan­dards – inclu­ding pho­to­vol­taics, energy effi­ci­ency mea­su­res and plan­ned LEED Gold cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Micro-optics and sen­sors are manu­fac­tu­red, which are used in semi­con­duc­tor litho­gra­phy and laser mate­rial pro­ces­sing, among other things. 

With the expan­sion in Dres­den, Jen­op­tik is not only streng­thening its posi­tion in the glo­bal mar­ket, but is also con­tri­bu­ting to Euro­pe’s tech­no­lo­gi­cal sovereignty.
