ÄPRE was formed on June 19, 2013, the company has been growing rapidly ever since. The founders are engineers and scientists, deeply experienced in the application, design, manufacture, and sales of interferometer products. They have collectively held key leadership positions in RD&E and sales and marketing at Zygo® (now AMETEK®), 4D Technologies, Wyko/Veeco, Tropel (now Corning®), and ESDI/Mahr® with over 120 years combined experience. ÄPRE is growing by adding sales, RD&E and manufacturing talent with equally deep roots in the industry to strengthen the company beyond the founders to be able to meet the growing needs of the optics industry.
