New £1m Facility Will Integrate Laser Cutting

Shearline Precision Engineering has begun construction on a £1 million extension to the company’s existing showcase facility in Ely, Cambridgeshire, to accommodate Hybrid Laser Tech Ltd, the precision laser cutting company it acquired last year. Due to be completed in the Spring of 2007, the new building will feature a number of state-of-the-art environmental features such as rain water collection and usage, and energy generated from wind power. 

The 10,000 sq ft, two-storey custom built construction, will be linked to the current Shearline factory and will house the latest CO2 laser systems used to cut and scribe ceramic substrates, plastics and acrylics. It will enable Hybrid Laser Tech to become an integral part of the company’s Total Manufacturing Solution offering for its customers.

At the turf cutting ceremony in September, which included a presentation and tour of Shearline’s current 57,000 sq ft premises, representatives from EEF, Ely Rotary Club, M.A.R.S. Construction, Barclays Bank and several Shearline customers and partners attended.
