Mark Gitin, CEO of IPG Photonics, discussed the company's recent performance and strategic direction during the Q4 2025 earnings call on February 12, 2026. He noted that cutting revenue had stabilized and pointed upward in the last quarter, attributing this to stabilized inventories among core OEMs and the introduction of a rack-integrated platform offering higher power, a smaller form factor, and lower cost. Gitin also provided updates on Crossbow, a counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS) laser defense product targeting group one and group two drones, which he described as a full system for both military and civilian applications. He stated the product was released in the fall at the SEI show in London and the USAA show in Washington, DC, and mentioned its potential relevance to recent airport incidents. In an October 2025 keynote at the Global Photonics Economic Forum in Malaga, Gitin outlined IPG's evolution from a product maker to a solutions partner, emphasizing integrated offerings for customers seeking outcomes rather than just components. He highlighted the company's focus on automation-ready performance, micron-level precision for semiconductor applications, and contributions to green innovation through reduced energy and chemical use. Gitin also described Crossbow as a field-ready, off-the-shelf defense solution for high-value assets facing drone swarms, noting that such drones can be acquired for a few hundred dollars. He discussed IPG's transition from a founder-led hub-and-spoke model to a broader leadership structure under his tenure.
