Germany - Berlin-based LaserAnimation Sollinger has acquired Bavarian firm Ray Technologies. The two companies are internationally established in the show and event industry, Ray being better known for its RTI brand.
The merger is hoped to lead to “an even broader coverage in the professional market” and will result in shared resources, with significant benefits to R&D.
"A joint path strengthens both brands in the high-end laser market and enables new developments in various product areas," comments Michael Sollinger, founder and CEO of LaserAnimation Sollinger.
The LaserAnimation and RTI brands will continue to exist, as will the companies’ locations in Berlin and Bavaria. All existing employees will remain onboard, with newly-created roles currently being filled as well.
Meanwhile, a new special effects lighting unit has also been established. One joint development that was recently presented at Prolight+Sound 2022 was the RTI Ango high-power laser effect.
