Company from Singapore invest in Thuringia

Good news for CDA GmbH in Suhl, Germany: a high-tech company from Singapore has taken over parts of its production. Following financial difficulties caused by the withdrawal of a major investor and subsequent bankruptcy, selected areas of the micro-optics business have now been acquired by Advanced Micro-optics Technologies GmbH (AMOT), a wholly owned subsidiary of AAC Technologies Holding. AMOT is a leading manufacturer of complex structures for micro-optics based on polymer materials. The AMOT plant in Suhl will develop and manufacture high-precision micro-optics with 42 employees. “We are convinced that joining the AAC Group will significantly benefit our customers, suppliers and employees as well as the growth and development of the region,” said AMOT Managing Director André Keller, formerly Managing Director of CDA GmbH. The core business of AAC Optics is researching, developing and producing optical components for smartphones, smart cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, surveillance cameras and medical treatments. (maa)
