In 2013 TESCAN and ORSAY PHYSICS formed TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING. These two businesses pioneered major developments in the fields of scanning electron microscope technology and focused ion beam technology, respectively. The group operates two production facilities in Brno, Czech Republic, and Fuveau, France, which are responsible for its end-to-end in-house production.
