EFFECT Photonics to Rename Its U.S. Subsidiary to Arycs Technologies

MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a move that signals acceleration on all fronts—from product readiness to market execution—EFFECT Photonics, BV today announced it has renamed its U.S. subsidiary to Arycs Technologies. The rebrand underscores the subsidiary’s heightened market readiness, clear leadership alignment, and singular mission to deliver power-efficient coherent optical systems that solve today’s network challenges.

As part of this transition, Roberto Marcoccia will step into a dedicated role as CEO of Arycs Technologies focusing exclusively on leading the U.S. business. This move ensures clear leadership alignment with the subsidiary’s strategic priorities.

With a product roadmap backed by strong momentum and imminent customer deployments, Arycs Technologies is positioned to seize a leading share in a rapidly expanding market.
