Kaleido Technology has appointed a new CEO to lead the company in its drive to develop technologies for cost effective mass production of ultra-precision moulded and machined optics.

Kaleido Technology has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the company in its drive to develop technologies for cost effective mass production of ultra-precision moulded and machined optics.

The new appointee Per Ibsen brings a proven track record of leading small technology businesses to a strong market position.

As founder of Ibsen Microstructures in 1991, Ibsen led the company until its sale to ADC Telecommunications in 2000 for a sum of US $80 million.

Following a management buyout a year later, Ibsen then served as Technical Director of the newly formed Ibsen Photonics.

Asked about his new appointment Per Ibsen commented: "Based on existing proprietary in-house technology Kaleido has identified strong market potential to develop next generation optics for a range of consumer products".

"Working in close collaboration with key strategic partners it is our aim to develop Kaleido's unique technology to this end and to pursue a longer-term goal of developing a unique optical module platform".

"Our dedication to serving the emerging market for direct-machined ultra precision optics for automotive and other business areas will continue undiminished".

Jesper Boie Rasmussen, Chief Technology Officer, said: "We are delighted that Per Ibsen has accepted to assume the role as CEO of Kaleido Technology".

"With Mr Ibsen's in-depth knowledge of the company having served as the business angel and chairman of the board in the start-up phase, we have now established a management team able to realise both our near term product developments and longer term optical platform module goals".
