Following the successful acquisition of Bylaser Australia in September last year, Hawkesbridge Capital is pleased to advise that Bylaser has established a new laser cutting facility in Newcastle, north of Sydney. The new facility will initially operate two high speed lasers and service the growing demands of customers in NSW. The new facility will complement the existing operations in Queensland and Victoria. As part of the company’s rapid expansion and its decision to operate the latest in cutting technology, Bylaser has recently taken delivery of two new Bystronic lasers, which are faster and significantly reduce the carbon emission footprint by using only one third the energy of a conventional laser.
The first in Australia and one of only six machines of its type in the world, the new Bysprint Fibre 3015 machine not only cuts ferrous material and aluminium very quickly but also allows Bylaser to offer sheet copper and brass laser cutting services to its customers.
The fibre optic laser has fewer moving parts with the laser beam generated from a “solid state” laser source.
“This investment in new technology is an important part of our growth plans. It has allowed us to open our factory in Newcastle, confident that we can offer precision parts, on time and at very competitive prices, using advanced technology which makes a real and positive contribution to the environment”, said Paul Moreton, Managing Director of Bylaser Australia.
“We are confident in our strategic direction and will continue to invest in appropriate technology in order to maintain our market position. Bystronic lasers are supplied and supported by Melbourne based LMC who provide the technical support and service that underpins our confidence”, Moreton said.
Bylaser Chairman Mark Lewis, a Partner at Hawkesbridge Capital, says that the establishment of a new facility in Newcastle coupled with continued investment in new technology is an important step in our on-going growth strategy for the business, which will improve our capacity and operational efficiency as well as provide a significant environmental gain.
