Originally (in 2004), RP Photonics was founded in Zürich, Switzerland. In 2010, RP Photonics moved to Bad Dürrheim, Germany (Waldstr. 17, 78073 Bad Dürrheim), and kept the original name. Since February 2022, RP Photonics is back in Switzerland. It is now an AG (stock corporation), and “consulting” has been removed from the company name, since it is no longer the central business area.
