Located in the San Francisco bay area, Cobolt Inc will service all Cobolt's customers in North America.

The opening of Cobolt Inc follows from seven years of successful collaboration with Market Tech Inc. as the company's exclusive distributor in the USA and has been motivated by an increasing level of OEM business and sales of customized solutions on the US market.

Cobolt Inc will be managed by Phillip Amaya, who has a very solid background in the photonics and laser industry with previous positions with Newport, SDL, Piccarro, and Arbor Photonics among others.

"We are extremely excited about the establishment of Cobolt Inc. We have been very happy with our collaboration with Market Tech but this is a natural step as the amount of OEM business relations increases. We look forward to developing a closer contact with OEM as well as research customers in the US. We are also very glad to have Phill Amaya on board as part of our team. We are confident that his extensive experience will bring a lot of value to our customers", says Hakan Karlsson, CEO of Cobolt.
