Deloitte ranks LayTec 144th in 500 fastest-growing tech companies in Europe, Middle East and Africa

LayTec AG of Berlin, Germany (which makes in-situ metrology systems for thin-film processes, focusing on compound semiconductor and photovoltaic applications) has received Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Award for Germany and Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 EMEA Award for the third year in succession. With sales growth of 1062% during the period 2006-2010 LayTec ranked 8th in Germany and 144th among the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“To receive this award three years in succession shows that we have successfully positioned LayTec in the market,” comments LayTec’s CEO, president & founder Dr Thomas Zettler. “We have created an organization which is able to adapt to the dynamic market requirements and to develop innovative products within a short time,” he adds. LayTec has overcome the challenges that accompany fast growth, Zettler continues. “We owe this to the engaged and unremitting commitment of our staff, their excellent knowledge and our close collaboration with our national and international partners.”

Founded in October 1999 as a spin-off of the Technical University Berlin, LayTec quickly established itself in compound semiconductor process metrology, especially for LED production but also for laser and high-power electronics production. Since 2009, its integrated metrology solutions have also been applied to solar cell production as well as other large-area deposition processes.

LayTec claims that implementation of its metrology systems in production processes can significantly shorten development cycles and enable efficient quality control, helping to reduce production and development costs considerably. New developments are generated in close cooperation with customers. Supported by a global distribution and service network, the firm’s products are also used worldwide in leading research institutions and industrial enterprises.
