Avanti! We’re expanding our presence in Europe! 👏 We are excited to announce the expansion of our Torino, Italy operations, strengthening our ability to support European and allied directed energy programs with locally assembled, mission‑ready laser solutions. This expansion enables: • In‑region assembly, integration, and test of high‑power laser subsystems • Faster delivery and closer collaboration with European partners • Alignment with regional localization, security, and supply‑chain resiliency requirements As directed energy systems move closer to operational deployment across NATO and allied forces, proximity to customers matters. Expanding our Torino footprint brings advanced laser manufacturing and lifecycle support closer to the users and programs that depend on it. This investment builds on our established presence in Italy and reflects nLIGHT’s commitment to supporting allied defense ecosystems with trusted, high‑performance laser technology, where and when it’s needed.
