What Probylas AG does
ProByLas AG is a privately held Swiss industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered at Technopark Luzern in Root D4, Switzerland. The company designs, manufactures, and sells modular laser plastic welding machines and components. Its core technology uses air-cooled diode lasers (wavelengths 900–1000 nm, 5–200 W) to melt a thin interface layer of plastic at the weld seam, producing particle-free and vibration-free welds well-suited to medical, automotive, and electronics applications. Product portfolio spans complete Turnkey Systems (compact Turnkey S for workpieces up to 150×100mm and Turnkey M for workpieces up to half a meter) and the Modula line of modular building blocks sold to special machine builders—Laser units, eight optics variants (Spot, Line, Area, Ring, DOE, Ball, Radial, Scanner), clamping units, and motion systems—plus preconfigured Modula Assemblies for lab and inline integration.
The company monetizes through capital equipment sales (Turnkey systems and Modula component sales) and professional services including design consulting, application laboratory welding tests and recipe development, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is a direct enterprise field-sales model with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland and in Elgin, Illinois (ProByLas USA, Inc., established October 2022), supplemented by extensive participation in major industry exhibitions (Fakuma, K Show, MD&M West, MedtecLIVE, Plastimagen). End markets include medical technology (primary; e.g., COVID-19 diagnostic cartridges from April 2020), automotive, electronics, consumer goods, technical textiles, and packaging. Probylas positions its modular concept and process variants as not otherwise available in the market. The reported team size is 1–10 employees, and no external institutional funding rounds or acquisitions are disclosed.
