UR Group’s expanded product portfolio now includes: planar lightwave, MEMS Passive, FTTH and optical modules, as well as a complete range of complementary optical subassemblies.
Novica Mrdovic, director of sales EMEA NeoPhotonics, commented: “Although we have been using distribution partners in Europe for some time these arrangements have never worked out satisfactorily. UR Group’s expertise in the optical market and the fact that they were actively searching for an optical partner to fill a gap in their ranges makes them an ideal partner for us. We expect to see a ramp up quickly as there is much latent demand.”
Joe Matano, Managing Director of UR Group, added: “Although we had a strong range of optical transponders and transceivers in our portfolio we were missing discrete optical components. NeoPhotonics more than fills the gap adding a whole new range of active and passive optical components.”
