Laser marking system maker Laselec celebrates 15-year anniversary

July 1, 2016
Laselec, which offers UV laser marking, will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year (2016).

Laselec (Toulouse, France) first focused on aeronautic industry needs with UV laser marking and then shifted to product diversification and rapid international expansion. After years of experience and successful international development, the company will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year (2016). The company designs and manufactures UV laser wire markers, laser wire strippers, interactive harness assembly boards, harness braiding machines, and laser cleaning solutions for injection molds.

Laselec has opened subsidiaries and offices in the US, Mexico, China, Japan, Morocco, and Italy, and will shortly set up an office in Germany. Being the leader in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East with over 80% of turnover made abroad, the company continues to focus on international growth.

To be recognized in the world of new technologies, only 15 years of development and innovation were required for the company to be trusted by prestigious customers from aerospace and rubber industries, such as Aigle, Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Freudenberg, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The swift growth of this small-sized business has drawn the attention of larger companiestwo years ago, Komax Group acquired a 20% stake in Laselec. This strategic partnership contributes to the development of new projects, and lays the foundation for Laselec to access new industrial markets such as automotive and railway in supporting its research and development.

His consulting business, Belforte Associates, served clients interested in advanced manufacturing applications. David held degrees in Chemistry and Production Technology from Northeastern University (Boston, MA). As a researcher, he conducted basic studies in material synthesis for high-temperature applications and held increasingly important positions with companies involved with high-technology materials processing. He co-founded a company that introduced several firsts in advanced welding technology and equipment. David's career in lasers started with the commercialization of the first industrial solid-state laser and a compact CO2 laser for sheet-metal cutting. For several years, he led the development of very high power CO2 lasers for welding and surface treating applications. In addition to consulting, David was the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Industrial Laser Solutions magazine (1986-2022) and contributed to other laser publications, including Laser Focus World.
