More InformationHow Does a Small Family Business Evolve Into a High-Tech Glass Innovation Network?
The answer is: through long-term thinking, continuous reinvestment, technical adaptability and people who are given the chance to grow.
In the latest episode of “The Company Special”, Managing Director Sebastian Büsche shares how Lambda Glass Solutions GmbH & Co.KG evolved from a single CNC machine in a renovated farm lab into a highly specialized glass-processing company working at the intersection of photonics, semiconductor, MedTech and other high-precision industries.
But this episode is not only about technology.
It is also about how a family business can build expertise over decades, and why mindset, character and transferable skills can matter more than the perfect CV.
Susette Germer, CEO of SalesPro4U, first met Sebastian through the IVAM Microtechnology Network at the IVAM High-Tech Summit 2026. Their conversation about technology, family business, hiring and leadership became the starting point for this episode.
🔥 Key takeaways:
– How a 30-year family business developed into a resilient high-tech network of around 150 employees
– Why long-term reinvestment in technology can create capabilities that cannot be built overnight
– How femtosecond lasers and Selective Laser Etching (SLE) enable complex 3D internal channels and free-form structures in glass
– Why glass quality, purity, cleanliness and surface requirements matter in high-precision semiconductor, photonics and MedTech applications
– Why mechanics, automotive technicians and even people from completely different professional backgrounds can successfully grow into highly technical roles
– How rigid degree requirements and ATS screening can cause companies to overlook strong transferable talent
– Why Sebastian believes character, curiosity and the willingness to learn can be more valuable than the “perfect” academic background
🧠 One message stands out: Technical knowledge can be developed. Curiosity, ownership and the willingness to solve problems are much harder to teach.
And Sebastian’s advice for the moments when things get difficult?
“Always think that in one year, we’re going to laugh about this.”
Because today’s hardest technical challenge may become tomorrow’s best story.
