SuperLight Photonics Announces Partnership With ProCareLight To Expand Presence In The Iberian Market

SuperLight Photonics announces its partnership with ProCareLight, the experts in photonics, lasers and laser safety in Spain and Portugal.

Spain is emerging as a dynamic player in the European photonics landscape, driven by a strong foundation in research and a growing ecosystem of nnovatiive companies. With renowned institutes like ICFO and increasing industrial demand for advanced optical technologies, the region offers fertile ground for photonics-driven applications. By strengthening our presence in this promising market, SuperLight Photonics is well-positioned to support leading-edge innovation and meet the growing demand for high-performance laser solutions across Spain and Portugal.

“Supercontinuum lasers can be considered a mature technology,” said Juan Luis Vadillo, Sales & Marketing Director of ProCareLight, “with a fair number of relevant manufacturers for laboratory applications. But somehow there was still a gap between the existing products and the industrial adoption of this technology due to size and price, especially in imaging and sensing applications like OCT, machine vision or quality inspection. SuperLight Photonics’ technology is going to change the rules and allow the integration of white lasers at industrial scale. We are proud to be SuperLight Photonics’ partner in Portugal and Spain to accomplish this task.”

“Spain is one of the European photonics hotspots,” said Jeroen Biesterbos, CCO of SuperLight Photonics. “It is home to leading research institutions and universities and it is on the rise with growing industry traction, and supportive infrastructure, making it a strategic market for photonics expansion. There is a steady rise in photonics-based startups and SMEs, especially in applications like medical imaging, sensors, renewable energy, and optical communications. By combining SuperLight Photonics’ leading-edge laser technology with ProCareLight’s regional knowledge and strong customer relationships, we aim to accelerate adoption and create lasting value in this growing photonics market.”

With ProCareLight’s established network and industry expertise, SuperLight Photonics will be able to offer its state-of-the-art laser technologies to a wider range of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing and ultra-precise material processing, advanced metrology, (bio-) medical applications, and scientific research.

Visitors to these conferences can meet with ProCareLight to discuss tailored solutions and discover how SuperLight Photonics’ unique PIC technology can address specific application requirements:

• National Color Congress - XIV Congreso Nacional del Color, 18-20 June 2025, Mérida - Spain
• National Optoelectronics Congress optoel25, XIV Reunión del Comité de Optoelectrónica, 02-04 July 2025, Terrassa, Spain

About ProCareLight
ProCareLight, is a leading expert in advanced photonics solutions across Spain and Portugal, created as a spin-off of ICFO – Instituto de Ciencias Fotónicas for laser safety consulting and training due to the lack of companies providing these services. The activity of the company and its growing reputation resulted in the logical expansion of the offer to laser protection products initially. Subsequently and after the request of many customers to the lasers themselves and surrounding products such as meters, another logical step. And from there to other photonics products, always with the intention of offering value-added products and not being a big photon warehouse. All quite logical, do not expect strange things from us.
