Catch our video on YouTube

Laser Process has made its debut on YouTube with a video of managing director Dave Lindsey giving an upbeat view of manufacturing at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition at Farnborough recently.

Dave got his three minutes of fame in front of the cameras explaining the success of Laser Process over the last 20 years and giving a very positive assessment of the state of manufacturing.

In the interview for the exhibition audience Dave explains our success has been built on updating technology, to make sure we use the best equipment available, and on great customer service, with staff seeing customers as friends and treating them as such.

He also emphasised that manufacturing is on the resurgence with the sector being talked about in a positive manner.

He said that barring some areas of uncertainty the future for us and the sector generally looks very promising.

Portrait Bench art works scheme marches on

Laser Process's link-up with national transport charity Sustrans to produce more than 200 steel art works has another successful sculpture in place with two more Portrait Benches being unveiled in Havering (left) and Broxbourne.

The characters represented by the statues have all been chosen by the local communities and are part of an ongoing project funded by Sustrans, the national sustainable transport charity.

The chosen characters for the London Borough of Havering are Harry Eccleston OBE, artist and bank note designer, Dick Bouchard MBE, founder of Romford Drums and Trumpets Corps and King Henry VIII.

For their Portrait Bench, voters in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, selected US airman Lieutenant Ellis, who sacrificed a chance to bale out of his stricken aircraft in order to avoid a built up area. He, along with his crew of nine, perished in the crash. Two symbols of the local community, a canoeist and a badger, were also chosen.

Our biggest ever investment with £1m order for new machinery

We’re very pleased to announce some great news for Laser Process and for all our customers with a record breaking £1m investment in new laser cutting machinery.

It’s the biggest single investment we’ve ever made in machinery at Laser Process which is a fantastic development.

We are ordering two new Trumpf laser cutting systems, pictured left, which are widely recognised as being the best in the world, updating our current generation of Trumpf machines.

It’ll mean we can continue to provide the very best service to customers using the very latest technology and in addition the new machines will increase our capacity by 25%.

The purchase is part of our commitment to make sure we offer the best in quality engineering to customers with our reinvestment policy that means we continually update machinery.

This latest investment marks the 10th and 11th systems we have ordered from Trumpf since buying our first machine from them in 1994.

Managing director Dave Lindsey said the investment shows the strength of Laser Process and our faith in the economic upturn.

“This investment will ensure we’re using the very latest and the best equipment to keep on providing the best quality to our customers,” he said.

“We’re able to make such a large investment because business is improving and the signs are good that the economy is on the way to recovery.”

The new laser cutting systems will be built to order and are set to be installed by the end of June.
