Leading midlands manufacturer Moseley Brothers has announced the launch of a new subsidiary specialising in laser cutting. The new company, gf laser, has been set up to capitalise on an increasing need for low volume and prototype parts. Significant investment has been made by gf laser in the latest Trumpf cutting technology including a TLC Cut 5 machine, only the second of its kind in the UK.

The Cut 5 has the ability to cut 3D parts as well as traditional flatbed, it also uses a dedicated programming system that calculates cutting paths for optimal material utilisation.

The new venture is operating from dedicated, modern premises in the West Midlands and neighbours the existing site of Moseley Brothers.

This means it is able to work on an autonomous basis but still offer clients a mixed facility of machining methods when required.

Simon Tregillus, Commercial Director of gf laser commented 'There are numerous companies able to provide laser cutting but only a handful are able to offer a three dimensional service.

In addition, clients of gf laser can benefit from other services offered by the group such as toolmaking and part production'.

Laser cutting is used in a variety of different industries from aerospace to commercial catering equipment.
