Coherent Korea will offer dedicated support and customer-focused services to Korean customers in this rapidly growing laser market.
Coherent has established a direct operation in Seoul, Korea.
"We are pleased to support economic growth in Korea with the superior reliability and performance of our laser-based solutions", said John Ambroseo, president and chief executive officer of Coherent.
"With the establishment of this direct operation, we are also looking forward to providing complete customer-oriented support locally." Wooyang Trading Company, which has served as Coherent's distributor in Korea, will continue to be responsible for sales to universities and research institutions.
However, Coherent Korea now will provide industrial sales and all service to Coherent's customers.
