Laselec

What Laselec does

Laselec, now operating as Komax France SAS, is a France-based (Villeneuve-Tolosane) designer and manufacturer of laser-based wire and cable processing equipment, founded in 1989 and operating as a subsidiary of the publicly-traded Komax Holding AG (Switzerland, SIX: KOX). Its core competence is ultraviolet (UV) laser cable marking technology, initially developed for aerospace wire identification, which is commercialized through the MRO 200 B/S/XS machine targeted at low-to-medium volume marking operations. Over time the portfolio has expanded into laser wire stripping solutions designed for complex multi-conductor, shielded, and twisted cables, and into higher-level automation platforms, notably the Optima integrated harness-manufacturing system that automates cable cutting, laser marking, crimping, heat shrinking, and labeling, and the EasyWiring interactive table for harness prototyping and production.

The company's commercial model combines one-time capital equipment sales with recurring service revenue via Komax Care maintenance and performance optimization contracts. Pricing is quote-based, varying with automation level and configuration, reflecting typical enterprise industrial machinery economics. Customers are predominantly aerospace manufacturers and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) centers, with a growing presence in the railway sector enabled by the Optima platform and ongoing reach into general industrial manufacturing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through Komax Group's integrated multi-brand network — including Schleuniger, adaptronic, Cirris, DiIT, Hosver, and WUSTEC — supported by a unified multilingual website, Komax Stories content publication, and trade fair presence. The business has been repositioned from its standalone Laselec identity into the Komax France brand as part of a group-wide consolidation strategy.
