In 1990, Alfred Neubert and Erich Weimel founded the company NWL Lasertechnologie GmbH. The first milestone in its history was made with the development of an argon ion laser for the treatment of patients with glaucoma. The NWL team single-mindedly continued to develop hightech laser systems and came out with the first compact laser marker DALI in 1991.

Both product lines – medical and industrial laser systems – were built up intensively during the following years.

In 2006 the shareholding structure of NWL was rearranged. The NWL Lasertechnologie GmbH and the Photon Energy GmbH cooperate even closer, both companies’ customers benefiting from the synergies released. The two companies excellently complement one another, Photon Energy develops and manufactures laser sources, which are then integrated in the NWL laser systems.

In the summer of 2008 NWL and Photon Energy became part of the Domino group and since December 1st 2009 NWL products have been sold via the Domino sales channels.
