Funding
Anteryon has raised $10 million in new equity from Mentha Capital and BNP Paribas Private Equity to expand its manufacturing facilities. The company’s WaferOptics technology is used to manufacture micro-optics for miniature camera modules, LED optics and laser modules. Wafer scale production allows extensive miniaturisation and subsequent cost savings. The technology uses the same wafer format as the CMOS image sensor industry, allowing the complete integration of sensor production and optics production.
Anteryon’s manufacturing plants in Eindhoven and China currently produce millions of WaferOptics lens stacks each month at extremely high yield for leading mobile phone manufacturers.
The new capital will enable Anteryon to extend its plant in Eindhoven and set up a new production facility in the Far East.
Anteryon, the former optics division of Philips, was acquired by private investors in 2006.
