It is reported that the day before Panasonic announced the acquisition of industrial high brightness diode laser direct global supplier of all the shares of TeraDiode.

The 100mw laser pointer processing technology of high precision and high quality has become more and more important, to meet the demand of lightweight and high stiffness, and high design flexibility in the automotive and other industries and high productivity demand. TeraDiode's high brightness direct diode laser with proprietary wavelength beam combining technology is expected to become the next generation of lasers that can achieve the broad industrial market demand.

The two sides in 2013 began a strategic alliance to quickly meet this market demand, and successfully launched the world's first direct diode laser welding robot system. The same year, Matsushita from TeraDiode for direct diode laser welding of the exclusive rights in the major countries in Asia, the two companies have been in product development, manufacturing, sales and service aspects of close cooperation, expanding the use of global direct diode laser technology.

According to the agreement, TeraDiode will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matsushita, Matsushita through TeraDiode front directly diode laser technology and proprietary technology and their combination of technology, to further promote the development of the 200mw laser pointer processing business of the two companies.

The two companies will further develop direct diode technology, strengthen the laser processing business as a new core business in the field of Panasonic solutions in order to accelerate the growth of performance.
