Palomar Medical Technologies, a developer of lasers and light systems for aesthetic treatments, has established a subsidiary in Hamburg, Germany.

Hauke Harms, managing director, will head the office.

He served 10 years with a global competitive aesthetic laser company as managing director for Germany, Austria and Switzerland and finally as director of the Aesthetic Business Unit for Europe.

In addition to Harms, two senior sales managers, Anja Siebert and Juergen Schmidt, will also join Palomar.

Palomar CEO Joseph Caruso said they are very excited to have Harms, Siebert and Juergen join the Palomar team.

"With this expertise, we plan on building a very strong presence in the area. Germany is a large market and our product portfolio fits well and addresses the most important aesthetic applications for their physicians," Caruso said.

"Over the past two years, we have opened a number of offices around the globe and this is another step in our world expansion plan."
