advanced technology micro-fabrication foundry specializing in glass structuring,
micro glass packaging and glass bonding and a world leader in providing
consumables and devices for gene sequencing, bio-medical, sensor, electronic and

will streamline liquid lens development efforts, and enable broader market
access with an extended product portfolio.
"We are very happy to have completed the acquisition of Varioptic," says Ray
Karam, President of Invenios LLC. "Combining the expertise of Varioptic and
Invenios will further grow the Liquid Lens business, and permit us to access new

business, assets and employees, have been transferred to Invenios France SAS, a
fully owned subsidiary of Invenios LLC. The Liquid Lens products will continue
to be promoted under the Varioptic and Optilux brands.
