Focuslight, Synopsys, AMS Technologies and Oxford Instruments announced or completed acquisitions in early 2024, covering micro- and nano-optics, simulation software, laser systems and scientific cameras. Focuslight completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity in SMO for EUR 75.5405 million, while Synopsys plans to acquire Ansys for $35 billion, a deal still subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. AMS Technologies acquired neoLASE, and Oxford Instruments acquired First Light Imaging.
Why we recommend it: The four deals respectively add device manufacturing, simulation software, laser system and scientific imaging capabilities, useful for comparing different paths optics companies take to expand through acquisitions.
