Ceramoptec

CeramOptec is a Germany-based photonics company specializing in the development and manufacturing of high-performance optical fibers, fiber bundles, and custom fiber optic assemblies for demanding industrial, medical, and scientific applications. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bonn, the company has built a strong reputation as a vertically integrated fiber optic specialist, controlling the entire production chain from raw material and preform manufacturing through to finished fibers and application-ready OEM systems. This full in-house capability enables tight quality control, high reproducibility, and the ability to deliver highly customized solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.

The company’s core product portfolio includes silica-based optical fibers for UV, visible, and infrared transmission, as well as specialty fibers designed for harsh environments, high temperatures, radiation exposure, and precision laser delivery. CeramOptec is particularly known for its Optran® fiber series, which includes solarization-resistant UV fibers, non-circular core fibers for beam shaping, and multicore fiber designs for advanced photonics applications.

Its solutions are widely used in laser technology, spectroscopy, sensing, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and medical technology, including minimally invasive laser procedures. A key differentiator is its strong OEM and customization focus, allowing the company to provide application-specific fiber assemblies rather than only standard catalog products. With global subsidiaries, long-standing industry experience, and ISO-certified manufacturing, CeramOptec positions itself as a leading European provider of engineered fiber optic solutions for high-precision and mission-critical applications across photonics-driven industries.
