1974 – 1988
Expanding Age

In July 1977, Michael Ivashuk sold his controlling interest of Control Laser Corp to a Washington based logistics company named Security Storage. The founder’s son, Robert Van Roijen Jr., was elected Chairman of Control Laser.

After taking charge of Control Laser, Robert used his ingenuity and knowledge of capital operations to develop the business by acquiring a series of laser companies with proprietary technology.

1988 – 2008
Applications Diversification

In July 1988, Control Laser’s controlling ownership was been sold to Quantronix Company, thus entering the semiconductor mask repair business. Because of the volatility of the semiconductor market at the end of 1992, Excel Technology acquired Quantronix and Control Laser.

The scope of laser applications, and thus CLC’s customer base, expanded from aerospace, military and semiconductor industries into automobiles, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, tools, molds, jewelry, trophies, packaging and other commercial markets.
