Precision laser cutting specialist FC Laser (www.fclaser.co.uk) has announced a record year, having achieved 30% growth in the last 12 months. Moreover, to meet the increasing demand for its services, the company aims to move to larger premises by the end of the year.

FC Laser’s new 20,000ft² factory has already received planning approval, and contractors are scheduled to start laying the foundations this month.

The company expects to ‘receive the keys’ in December and is arranging for a prominent figure to open the new facility.

An Open Day is planned for March 2018, at which visitors will be able to see FC Laser’s ‘suite’ of Bystronic laser profilers, including a brand-new 10kW machine capable of cutting material up to 30mm thick.

The company has also been taking on new staff, including: account manager Brett Armitage; new business account manager Ellie Miller; and apprentice internal sales engineer Will Krafts.

FC Laser’s managing director, Danny Fantom, says the company’s success is down to investing in the best people, technology and materials.

“In manufacturing, it is not always possible to provide guarantees, but we promise customers that we will deliver their products on time and to the highest possible quality — and we keep to that promise every single time.

“This approach enabled us to achieve a fantastic year of growth, arrange the move to brand-new premises and take on key staff, as we increase our market share.”
