CARY, N.C.—Leybold Optics, USA has permanently placed a dedicated field service engineer on the West Coast to support its current and future customers there.

“We have been steadily getting requests from our West Coast customers to place a local service presence in order to serve their needs,” said George Kim, vice president of Leybold Optics USA, which provides anti-reflective coating equipment, technology and support to the ophthalmic industry. “The three-hour time difference from California to our USA headquarters in North Carolina limits the support window for the West, so in response to their needs, Leybold Optics has placed a Field Service Engineer in Portland, Ore. for quick dispatch and ease of contact.”

Leybold Optics, USA, based here, is wholly owned subsidiary of Leybold Optics GmbH headquartered in Alzenau, Germany.
