Company

Sustainable management and long-term increase in value for our customers, our company, our employees and our partners - that is our goal.

LaserAnimation Sollinger can already look back on a successful history of more than 35 years. This is possible because, from the very beginning, emphasis was placed on factors such as quality, reliability, innovation, customer satisfaction and qualified employees. These factors form the basis for our economic success and excellent reputation. However, we are also aware that it is not enough to simply provide customers with high-quality products. Rather, it is the combination of various aspects of business relationships and the attempt to provide each individual customer with the best possible solution for his or her requirements. We are there for our customers even after the product has been handed over to them and offer support whenever required. Continuity is an essential part of our strategy. The company stands for this with a balanced portfolio of innovation, proven products, service and performance.

Manufacturing

Our recipe for success is the motivation and know-how of our employees. The exemplary interaction of R & D with production enables the new development and manufacture of innovative products for a demanding market.

In-house: Development & Processing

From prototype to series

LaserAnimation Sollinger stands for quality and reliability of its products. Important for this are the numerous components that we manufacture ourselves and which are built into our products. Starting with an idea, through a comprehensive, well thought-out and consistent design of individual components or entire assemblies, all the way to production is made inhouse. In our workshops in Berlin and Valley, we process high-quality materials into prototypes, components and final products. Our own CNC milling machines are available at both locations for this purpose. Long-standing, specialized employees implement even highly demanding tasks skillfully and goal-oriented.

Electronics, Optics, Precision Engineering

Precise, more precise, LaserAnimation

In our optoelectronic division, our qualified employees have comprehensive knowledge of optics, electronics and precision engineering. On top of that, precise work and a steady hand are essential. We place the highest importance on the proper choice of optical materials and absolutely precise processing in order to be able to guarantee the characteristic high quality of the red, green and blue laser modules that we manufacture.

Always energized

Our electrical development

The electronic components for our laser projectors, prototypes or, for example, for the extremely complex hardware platform of the Lasergraph DSP are largely developed and produced in-house. All together this reflects the successful symbiosis of development and manufacturing and gives us a clear competitive advantage. Our long-standing customers trust in the reliability and quality of our lasers, hardware and components.

Thats what our customers say

The perfect and highly stable LaserAnimation Sollinger products, which are made of carefully developed, high-quality components manufactured by experienced engineers, offer many adavantages. Even if 100 laser projectors are installed in one project, all laser projectors have the same fade-in and fade-out characteristics as well as the same scanner tuning. The laser projector monitoring software “”LA-Toolbox”” has advandec safety settings and precise status acquisition and can be safely operated by user and administrators. The innovations and the polite transparent communcation are the reason why I am captivated by LaerAnimation Sollinger products.

Yu Suzuki, Laser Show Ware, INC.

We searched throughout Europe for the best laser systems manufacturers and were extremely pleased and fortnate to have found LaserAnimation Sollinger. It was immediately evident that LaserAnimation has invested heavily in developing their in-house capabilities, allowing them to design, prototype and assemble highly complex and specialised systems almost entirely in-house: they have built up a vast amount of proprietary knowledge. Having worked with hundreds of supplier partners in my career, I can say with absolute certainty that LaserAnimation Sollinger posses all the characteristics that make them best in the class.

Daniel Siden, CEO Lightvert LTD.

I have been a very satisfied customer for many years, and my projects require high precision and 100% reliablity. I am pushing show laser technology to its limits, and my projects often even require custom built machines. LaserAnimation Sollinger turned out to be my dream partner. Whatever I come up with, they find a solution.

Robert Henke, Audiovisual Artist and Composer
