The UK's top sub contract laser profiling specialists are to expand their operations into Scotland.

The move to Motherwell represents their first foray north of the border and is the third new operation opened by the company in the past 6 months.

SSC Laser will commence trading in May from the Maxim Business Park on the outskirts of Motherwell. The company announced record turnover of over £5m as they conduct a programme of aggressive expansion throughout the UK, with plans to establish operations in every major city in the UK.


Sales Manager for Scotland David France from nearby Holytown is looking forward to heading up operations at the site. He said: "There's a real gap in the market for a dedicated Laser Job Shop here and we’re excited at the prospect of forming partnerships with the diverse business base in Scotland."

SSC Laser specialises in rapid deliveries of precision laser engineered components, in both flat and tube profiles. The firm, which also offers press-braking, laser scanning and an in-house CAD service, recently installed a state-of-the-art Bystronic Byspeed Pro 3015 Flat Bed Laser. Thirty-seven-year-old David, who has forged a successful career in developing new business, added: "We offer precision laser cut profiles in the full range of mild steel grades as well as offering components in stainless steel, aluminium and brass. We have a press brake facility which allows us to offer folded parts. Our Tube Laser is the latest in Tube Laser technology. We can process box section, circular hollow section, angles, flats and channels, up to a maximum length of 8500mm."
