We launched the new office in Hutthurm;
and the first three employees came - and they are still with us.

Another five employees have been hired. IB/E OPTICS did development for companies like BOSCH, Siemens and DLR.

To do more than prototyping we founded production facilities.
IB/E OPTICS Eckerl GmbH with four more employees
The main issue was, to manage the series production.

IB/E OPTICS designed the broadcast lens HD Scope. A fully felxible tool for the professional video industrie with 2 axis rotation with image derotation feature.With focus, iris , rotation, tilt and pan you have 5 axes to be driven.
Another fantastic lens was created - an ultra low and low budget wide angle lens up to 130° horizontal field with distortion less than 10 % for a well known automotive supplier. The only system that is allowed to be used instead of front mirrors.
