NLight, a manufacturer of high-power semiconductor and fibre lasers, has reported an almost 60 per cent year-over-year increase in Q2 industrial and microfabrication sales in China.

The firm also reported a 49.2 per cent year-over-year increase in total Q2 revenue, growing to $51.7m from $34.7m.

‘We delivered strong revenue growth and gross profit in the second quarter, driven by meaningful expansion in all three of our end markets,’ commented Scott Keeney, nLIGHT’s president and CEO. 'Industrial and microfabrication business was particularly strong in China in the quarter, with the region growing almost 60 per cent year-over-year.
