The company
Technology guidance
Argolight is a company at the frontiers of Photonics and Material sciences and a spin-off out of the LOMA and ICMCB laboratories at the University of Bordeaux, France, Europe. We specialize in the modification of transparent materials by photonics processing for biosciences applications.
Ecological responsibility
Argolight policy is to propose robust products at the counter-current of planned obsolescence. We work to create products that last, relying on innovation and development to insure sustainability. At Argolight, our employees have incentives to use public transportations to come at work. We also try to minimize and recycle all our waste.
Social responsibility
We believe that properly treated people lead to better committed employees. Our employees have the option for various new trainings and have many opportunities for growth inside the company.
We believe that innovative material processing comes from the expertise of both the material and the means of modification. That is why we have our own industry grade material production facility and why we develop the best materials to integrate in our products.
Argolight is a high-tech company that prides itself on being ecological and socially responsible.
