Clark County laser manufacturer nLight has emerged from a turbulent two years with growing sales, a rising stock price, a new headquarters in Camas – and a new market developing futuristic weapons for the military.
Last week, nLight raised $75 million by selling additional shares. It capitalized on its rising stock price to build a war chest for future growth.
“We see a lot of room for continued investment in research, development” and new factory investment, said Scott Keeney, nLight’s co-founder and CEO. “We’re committed and we’re expanding.”
