QiOVA develops patented multi‑beam laser technology (VULQ1®) that marks 2D codes in a single laser pulse, with marking times on the order of ten billionths of a second and typically ~5× faster than existing laser solutions. Its systems integrate onto high‑cadence production lines to enable mass personalization and unit traceability for sectors such as luxury, pharmaceuticals, electronics, medical and consumer goods. The company highlights a lower environmental impact by permanently marking primary packaging and already counts customers including Sidel, Eli Lilly, Heinz Glas, Schott and Becton Dickinson. Founded in 2011 and based in Saint‑Etienne, QiOVA has won industrial innovation awards and is a laureate of the France 2030 investment plan. QiOVA intends to accelerate industrial deployment of its technology to serve high‑volume production and broaden use cases such as decoration and surface functionalization across multiple materials. The company recently secured new funding to support that scale‑up and industrialization.
