Strategic Acquisition Will Further Diversify Laser Systems Offerings and Customer Base While Enhancing "Made in America" Manufacturing Capabilities
ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / June 26, 2025 / Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE) ("LPC"), $LASE, a global leader in industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, today announced that it will acquire Beamer Laser Marking Systems ("Beamer"), a trusted provider of industrial fiber and CO2 laser marking equipment for industrial applications including etching serial numbers, 2D barcodes and other permanent markings onto metal, plastic and composite parts. Beamer previously operated as the laser division of ARCH Cutting Tools ("Arch"). According to ARCH, Beamer generated between $3 million and $5 million in unaudited revenue annually between 2022 and 2024. The acquisition will become effective following NASDAQ's 15-day review period of the transaction.
John Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Laser Photonics, commented:
"Beamer complements the Control Micro Systems transaction that we completed in November last year and immediately enhances our long-term strategy through deeper product diversification in the fast-growing laser marking market, where product traceability and regulatory compliance are driving demand across aerospace, automotive, medical and other industrial sectors. Beamer's strong reputation, proven equipment, and loyal customer base provide a solid platform for growth.
"We will also gain a product line that is designed, sourced, manufactured and supported within the U.S. This means no issues with supply chain or tariffs, as well as greater control over quality, lead times and costs. That matters now more than ever. Just as important, its well-established distribution network, consisting of 19 tech centers throughout North America, including 5 product demonstration showrooms, will, we believe, serve as a force multiplier for our sales team, giving LPC a powerful new channel to introduce our broader laser solutions.
"In short, this deal positions LPC to scale faster, serve more markets and deliver more value to our customers - all while keeping our focus on U.S.-based innovation and manufacturing."
About Beamer
Beamer's laser marking systems are relied on by manufacturers to permanently mark products for tracking, quality control and compliance. In addition to new sales, the Company has a historical installed base of over 2,000 systems that provide ongoing service and support revenue opportunities. These systems are used in:
General Industrial Manufacturing
Aerospace and Defense for part traceability
Automotive and EV manufacturing for component ID
Medical devices for UDI (unique device identification)
Industrial and consumer products for branding and decorative etching
The systems and components are designed, built and sourced in the USA and feature IR fiber and CO2 lasers tailored for processing a wide variety of materials with precise and permanent marking, ensuring no damage to the part. Beamer's product line will complement LPC's existing specialized laser marking technologies, and LPC expects to begin to realize synergies and ramp up Beamer's service and support capabilities quickly following the recently completed relocation of Beamer's manufacturing equipment to LPC's Orlando facility.
Nationwide Distribution Channel and Showrooms
Beamer's distribution network includes 19 authorized dealer locations, with 80 reps across the United States and Mexico. Of these, five locations serve as demonstration centers featuring live equipment for customer trials and training, while the remaining 14 focus primarily on sales and technical support. LPC believes it can create incremental synergies by enabling the dealer network to cross-sell LPC's broader laser solutions portfolio, including CleanTech systems, creating a comprehensive coast-to-coast distribution platform for the combined product portfolio. LPC plans to initiate discussions with these dealers to cross-sell and showcase its portfolio of laser solutions imminently.
Diverse Customer Base
LPC's acquisition of Beamer brings an impressive roster of clients, including Fortune 100 companies in aerospace/defense and pharmaceuticals. This varied customer base spans numerous fields, underscoring the caliber and versatility of Beamer's laser marking systems. Upon integration into LPC, both companies' customers will have access to a wider selection of high-precision laser solutions.
