Edit suggestions due to incomplete and outdated information

First, I am declaring paid conflict of interest as it relates to Jenoptik’s Wikipedia page. I would like to suggest the following changes to update the page, as much has taken place in the last years that is not reflected on the page, making the information incomplete and not entirely true. To make it easiest, I will provide complete sentences and paragraphs that are neutral and have no advertising motive. Therefore, this change suggestion is quite lengthy since I explain each change thoroughly. With these changes and declaration of conflicting interest, I would also like to request for the lifting of the advertising templates from the page. There was only one change made in the past made without declaring conflict of interest unknowingly. The article is neutral, does not contain advertising language, and I am not making these changes directly. Thanks for your time and considerations!

The introductory section needs to reflect the company's business restructuring in 2022. They restructured to become a purely phototonic organization and refocused its target industries. This change can also be reflected in the first paragraph under “Company Profile.” It could say the following:

→"Jenoptik AG is a German, integrated photonics group that divides its business activities into two photonics-based divisions: “Advanced Photonic Solutions” and “Smart Mobility Solutions.” Non-photonic activities are operated within the group’s “Non-Photonic Portfolio” companies.

The group’s worldwide customers mainly consist of companies in the semiconductor equipment, electronics, life science and medical technology, and traffic and security industries."

The second sentence in the first paragraph under “Company Profile” can be deleted because Jenoptik is divesting from this brand. This is not to “erase history,” so to say, but I will request changes under “Group structure and business activities” to record this event in the history of the company. Sentence to be deleted:

→“The new brand Vincorion is dedicated to the mechatronic business of Jenoptik.”

The first two paragraphs under "Company profile" also need to reflect the structural changes that I requested above in the introduction, as Jenoptik is now a purely photonic group and focuses on new industries. It could say the following:

→"Jenoptik divides its activities into two photonics-based divisions: “Advanced Photonic Solutions” and “Smart Mobility Solutions.” The new brand Vincorion is dedicated to the mechatronic business of Jenoptik. Under the TRIOPTICS brand, Jenoptik also develops and manufactures optical test and manufacturing systems, and non-photonic activities are operated within the group’s “Non-Photonic Portfolio” companies.

The group’s worldwide customers mainly consist of companies in the semiconductor equipment, electronics, life science and medical technology, and traffic and security industries."

This sentence is no longer correct in the following paragraph; “Jenoptik has around 4,000 employees and in 2018 generated sales of 834 million Euros.” Rather, it should now read:

→“Jenoptik has around 4,900 employees and in 2021 generated revenue of 750,5 million Euros.”

In the paragraph beginning with "Dr. Stefan Traeger..." in the Company profile section, it can be designated that Hans-Dieter Schumacher will be the chief financial officer only until March 2023, as this is a new development.

After the paragraph beginning with “In August 2017…” and ending with “…laser-machine business,” an additional paragraph should be added that contains information about further acquisitions and business restructuring. It could read as follows:

→“In 2018, Jenoptik acquired Prodomax Automation Ltd., a Canadian manufacturer of automated production lines, to add to their technology portfolio of laser processing and automation. In the same year, the company branded its mechatronic business division as VINCORION, which was responsible for products within the aviation, security, defense and railroad industries.”

→If this change is made, please delete the following paragraph beginning with “From September 2018…” because the above change better consolidates this information.

More business restructuring information is missing after 2019. I would suggest the following changes to remove unneutral language and add up-to-date information:

→Delete the sentences reading, “The three divisions are building on their common core competencies in photonics. This includes know-how in optics, sensor technology, imaging, robotics, data analysis and man-machine interfaces.” They are unneutral and unnecessary.

→To end this paragraph, please add the following information: “In December 2021, the company released a new business strategy, Agenda 2025 ‘More Value,’ and an organizational restructuring took effect in April 2022. The group focused its operations on purely photonics technologies by consolidating its three prior divisions into two: “Advanced Photonics Solutions” and “Smart Mobility Solutions.” Since the 2022 restructuring, Jenoptik’s primary markets are the semiconductor equipment and electronics, life science and medical technology, and traffic and security industries. Its non-photonic activities, particularly within the automotive market, operate within the group’s “Non-Photonic Portfolio Companies.”

With this, I would like to suggest updated history since 2019, since no additional happenings have been added to the page since then. Please, therefore, add the following information at the end of the “Company profile” section:

→“As of September 2020, Jenoptik acquired the Hamburg-based optics group TRIOPTICS, an international supplier of test equipment and manufacturing systems for optical components and digitalization. In late 2021, the company acquired BG Medical Applications GmbH, a supplier of precision optical components for the medical technology sector, and the SwissOptic Group, a developer and manufacturer of optical components and assemblies for the medical technology, semiconductor and metrology sectors.”

→“As a partner in NASA’s Mars 2020 mission, Jenoptik produced lens assemblies for the engineering cameras of the Mars rover, Perseverance, which began its expedition on Mars in February 2021.”

→“In November 2021, Jenoptik became a member of the United Nations Global Compact network for corporate responsibility and committed to compliance with integrating aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals into its business strategies.”

Due to the company restructuring in 2022, I would like to suggest the following edits to the "Group structure and business activities" section. The "Light and Optics," "Light and Production Division," and "Light and Safety" sections are now obsolete. This could be deleted and replaced by the following sections:

→"Advanced Photonic Solutions: The “Advanced Photonic Solutions” division of Jenoptik is a global OEM and machine supplier of photonic technologies. Their products span across the fields of optics, laser technology, digital imaging, optoelectronics, sensors, as well as optical testing and measurement equipment. Their products are mainly used by machine and equipment manufacturers in the semiconductor, laser material processing, life science and biophotonics, industrial automation, automotive and security industries."

→"Smart Mobility Solutions: In this business division, Jenoptik produces technologies for vehicle monitoring and classification and average speed, spot speed and red-light enforcement. These products also include civil security, road user charging and emission control that use video analytics and artificial intelligence."

Following, I would suggest the creation of a new subsectio called "Other Business Activities" so as to separate the business structure from acquistiions and to not confuse readers. Under "Other Business Activities," the following section could be added to explain the company's involvement outside of the photonic sector:

→"Jenoptik’s “Non-Photonic Portfolio Companies” work predominately with companies in the automotive industry. Theseir products for industrial customers are used mainly for production processes. They produce both stand-alone products and complete, automated systems for production processes and contribute to research and technological development in e-mobility and autonomous driving. The companies also develop and manufacture industrial metrology systems for quality control in production."

Under the “Vincorion” sub-section within the "Other Business Activities" section, changes need made because the business is in the process of selling Vincorion, and so the information is not entirely correct. The following would make it correct:

→Please add “(until 2022)” after the header “Vincorion.”

→Please add the following excerpt either before or after the bullet points to explain the history of this division: “After Jenoptik announced in July 2019 that VINCORION would be sold to concentrate the business on the core markets of lasers, measuring technology and optical systems. In Novmber 2021, Jenoptik announced that it signed an agreement to sell the VINCORION division to STAR Capital Partnership LLP. The closing of the deal is expected to take place in the second half of 2022.“

The following acquisitions could also be added to the “Group structure and business activities” section to make the history more complete:

→“Trioptics: Trioptics retains its brand and represents the test equipment business within the Jenoptik group.”

→“Measurement and manufacturing systems for optical components”

→“Sensors for digitalization and semiconductor technology”

→“Virtual und Augmented Reality“

→“Medical and diagnosis technology, optics manufacturing and life sciences”

“BG Medical Applications GmbH: BG Medical is now Jenoptik Medical and is an OEM supplier for medical technology and life sciences. The company was acquired by Jenoptik in 2021. Following the closing of the acquisition, the name was changed to JENOPTIK Medical GmbH in 2022.“

→“High-precision, custom optical components for medical technology sector”

→“Technology applications for dental and robotic surgery”

“SwissOptic Group”

→“Optical components and assemblies”

→“Medical technology in ophthalmology and life sciences”

→“Semiconductor and metrology” ConnyKM (talk) 13:14, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
