Laser Photonics Completes Acquisition of Control Micro Systems - Expands Into Pharmaceutical Laser Equipment Market
CMS develops specialized laser systems critical for slow-release tablets and counterfeit proof pill manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry
CMS brings existing program orders of $4 million to LPC
CMS counts several top 20 global life sciences companies as customers
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Laser Photonics Corporation (“LPC” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LASE), a global leader in industrial laser systems for cleaning and material processing applications, today announced the closing of its acquisition of Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS). This transformative acquisition strengthens LPC's footprint in the global laser market and directly opens the door to the high-demand pharmaceutical equipment sector known for its growth and stability.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241106779285/en/
Wayne Tupuola, CEO of LPC commented:
“We’re excited to welcome CMS and its talented team into the LPC family. CMS is well-regarded for its U.S.-designed and manufactured laser solutions that offer precision and speed, and we share a vision of advancing high-quality laser systems across various industries. This acquisition is particularly significant as the pharmaceutical market, with its stringent quality standards and demand for technologies like slow-release tablet production and anti-counterfeiting, provides both a recession-resistant opportunity and high barriers to foreign entry. Combining our expertise, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver high-performance tools to clients worldwide who demand the best in safety, sustainability and material processing.”
LPC acquired CMS’ assets through an asset purchase agreement for approximately $1 million, primarily funded by cash from a recent capital raise and stock. The acquisition was made possible through divestments by CMS’ parent company as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. LPC ensured a smooth transition by offering positions to all CMS employees, providing stability and continued service for CMS’ valued customers and vendors.
Tupuola added, “We believe the value we obtained from this acquisition was substantial, as the assets were under-monetized due to its former parent company’s over-leveraged financial position. Over the coming years, we see a tremendous opportunity to unlock CMS’s growth potential by integrating it into our existing sales and marketing infrastructure, enhancing customer engagement and expanding our market reach to maximize wallet share from current customers and bring new clients on board.”
Reflecting on the strategic importance of the acquisition, Carlos Sardinas, VP of Finance at LPC, emphasized in an interview that CMS’ strong foothold in the pharmaceutical sector, alongside its advanced laser systems for controlled-release medications, positions LPC to further expand in the life sciences industry. CMS clients include some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, underscoring this acquisition's value to LPC’s portfolio and growth strategy.

Laser Photonics Signs Definitive Agreement To Acquire Control Micro Systems
Acquisition to provide entry into the medical and pharmaceutical laser markets
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, today announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS) through an asset purchase agreement (APA). The acquisition is expected to provide an opportunity for Laser Photonics to strategically broaden its market reach, engineering talent and technology portfolio. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241031124381/en/
https://mms.businesswire.com/media/20241031124381/en/2290614/4/CMS-Laser-Logo-Primary_sq_PR.jpg
Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics, commented:
"This acquisition will enable LPC to expand into the massive, growing pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing vertical, a recession-resistant sector with significant barriers to entry, while diversifying our business and providing us with a significant new market opportunity. CMS has worked with world-class pharmaceutical companies, delivering solutions that meet the industry's most stringent standards for both enabling controlled-release tablets and traceability of medications and packaging for compliance."
"We believe CMS is under-valued due to its lack of investment in sales and marketing over the past few years that will benefit from leveraging LPC’s existing sales and marketing infrastructure. LPC plans to unlock additional value through targeted marketing and customer engagement."
"In addition to focusing on expanded sales and marketing, we plan to hire all CMS’ existing workforce, including engineers and customer support personnel, who we believe will add significant value to our company. Upon closing the transaction, LPC is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for ALL existing CMS employees. Current CMS customers can also expect uninterrupted service and support during this transition."
Market Opportunity in Pharmaceutical and Medical Laser Solutions
The pharmaceutical market for controlled-release medications is expanding rapidly, driven by the growing need for more effective and patient-friendly drug delivery systems. Controlled-release tablets, which gradually release medication over time, require precision manufacturing techniques to ensure the proper dosage and timing of active ingredient release. Laser technology plays a critical role in creating micro-drilled apertures in these tablets, ensuring accurate and consistent drug release.
With global pharmaceutical companies focusing on enhancing drug delivery mechanisms, the demand for laser-based solutions like those provided by CMS is expected to rise. CMS’ experience in supplying laser systems to pharmaceutical companies, coupled with Laser Photonics' sales and marketing expertise, positions LPC to take full advantage of this growing market segment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies, including the FDA, are enforcing stricter serialization and traceability requirements, creating opportunities for laser marking systems to become essential in ensuring compliance. Lasers can precisely mark packaging with batch numbers, expiration dates and unique identifiers, helping pharmaceutical companies meet global standards for product safety and anti-counterfeiting measures.
CMS Products and Technologies
CMS has a well-established reputation for delivering precision laser solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for controlled-release tablet production and packaging compliance. Its laser drilling systems are critical for creating microscopic apertures in tablets, allowing for precise control over drug release rates. This technology is essential for the manufacturing of medications that require gradual, timed release of active ingredients, ensuring improved patient adherence and therapeutic effectiveness.
Additionally, CMS’s advanced laser marking systems are integral to pharmaceutical traceability. These systems enable precise, high-speed marking of batch numbers, expiration dates and unique product identifiers on both medications and packaging, ensuring compliance with global regulations such as those from the FDA and GMP. Laser marking plays a crucial role in preventing counterfeiting, safeguarding patient safety and maintaining the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain.
CMS also brings cutting-edge ultrafast laser technologies that enable non-contact processing of sensitive pharmaceutical materials, such as micro-components used in drug delivery systems. These systems reduce material waste and ensure the highest quality standards in production by offering unmatched precision without damaging delicate materials.
Diversification into a Recession-Resistant Vertical
This strategic acquisition expands Laser Photonics' technological capabilities while adding a recession-resistant vertical to its business portfolio. The pharmaceutical industry, driven by constant medical demand, is less vulnerable to economic downturns, providing a stable revenue stream for LPC. The growing demand for controlled-release medications and the increasing need for precision laser solutions in pharmaceutical manufacturing further position LPC for long-term growth.
