OXFORD, MA, May 15, 2013 -- IPG Photonics Corporation, the world leader in high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, has appointed Mr. Dave Krattley to IPG's Industrial Sales Team, responsible for selling IPG's complete line of materials processing fiber lasers. Dave, an industry veteran with nearly 25 years in the industrial laser industry, has vast experience selling industrial lasers and systems to OEM's, integrators and end users.

Fiber lasers have proven themselves in numerous applications and will continue to grow due to their reliability, high beam quality, high wall-plug efficiency, small footprint and lower total cost of ownership. Fiber lasers have already become the tool of choice for many marking, welding, cutting, drilling and cladding applications and will only increase as more companies become aware of their capabilities."
