About Us

In just a few short years, LaserTech grew to become the Nordic region’s leading thick film specialist.

Although it got off to a dramatic start, and there were many obstacles that repeatedly threatened to close the company as fast as it had been established, LaserTech’s director and founder, Jens Friis Østergaard, stood his ground. He knew that thick film technology was the future – and his belief in the company’s success led him to invest all of his assets in the project.

International prestige
In the space of a few years, Jens Friis Østergaard became a well-known face in international forums and organisations, and he put the small Danish company on the world map.

Today, LaserTech supplies components to the aerospace industry, the automotive industry, the mobile phone market, the wind turbine industry, medical electronics and many more. One of LaserTech’s largest orders was for delivery of 3.5 million key components to a major German electronics manufacturer in the automotive industry.

LaserTech is a key Nordic supplier of customised solutions for international clients.

The future is secure

In a few years’ time, LaserTech will be passed on to the next generation, and Jens Friis Østergaard’s son, Klaus, will take the helm. However, there is nothing dramatic about this handover, since Klaus Friis Østergaard has been involved in LaserTech from the very beginning.

Over the past ten years, Klaus has stamped his indelible mark as quality assurance manager and, today, he has a hand in all strategic and managerial decisions.
