Since the beginning of the year, Shvabe Holding has supplied 298 diffraction gratings to its foreign customers. Therefore, only for the first half of 2018 these products’ export volume was higher than for the entire last year.
Diffraction gratings were created by the holding company – the State Institute of Applied Optics (GIPO). It produces 70% of Russian diffraction optics.
In total, the company exported 298 optics units to four countries of the near and far abroad for the first six months of 2018. For instance, it supplied 110 grids to Ireland, 35 units to Norway, 150 units to Germany and 7 units to Belarus during the first half of the year. For comparison, foreign customers received 123 gratings in the first half of 2017 and 272 gratings in total for the whole last year, according to the holding press service.
"This is a high figure in itself, not to mention a serious increase in supplies. The optimal ratio of price and quality makes our products highly sought-after among both Russian and foreign customers. GIPO has been exporting diffraction optics to Europe and the CIS countries for more than ten years. We are constantly working on expanding the geography of supplies and strengthening our existing positions," said Villen Baloev, CEO of GIPO.
By the end of 2018, Shvabe plans to supply another 130 optical gratings to Germany, Norway and Ireland.
