Lasertech

What Lasertech does

Lasertech LSH AB is a Karlskoga, Sweden-based B2B contract manufacturer specializing in advanced laser processing services. Founded in 2000 at the Bofors Industrial Area and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stockholm-listed XANO Industri AB since December 14, 2020, the company offers six core service lines under one roof: laser welding, industrial 3D printing (Selective Laser Melting in metals and Selective Laser Sintering in PA 1101/PA 2200 polymers), Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) for coatings and repair, laser hardening for selective surface treatment, laser marking for traceability, and non-destructive testing using magnetic particle (MT) and penetrant (PT) methods. The company positions itself as the unique provider in the Nordic region offering this breadth of laser services under one roof and as the longest-standing Swedish subcontractor in metal 3D printing, with continuous activity in that field since 2014.

The business model is professional services / job-shop: customers submit quote-based projects and Lasertech delivers custom components, repairs, or surface treatments. Revenue is generated through project fees rather than recurring subscriptions, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales led by a Sales and Marketing Manager (Stig Reitan) and supported by technical staff, targeting customers in defense (anchored by proximity to Saab/Bofors in Karlskoga), automotive (including battery cell welding and special vehicles), medical technology (sterile instruments, pharmaceutical process equipment), and general manufacturing (offshore, white goods, maritime, nuclear power, machine components). Certifications include ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (valid through 2025) and an EcoVadis Silver Medal awarded in 2024, supporting qualification for regulated industrial supply chains.

The company operates a single facility in Karlskoga and serves the Nordic/Sweden market. With 11 to 50 employees, Lasertech is a small, specialized subcontractor embedded in a broader industrial group; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Its primary moat is the combination of a 20+ year talent base in advanced laser processing, the depth of its metal 3D printing experience, and its full-service "one roof" offering, which collectively position it as a niche supplier for complex, low-volume, high-spec industrial manufacturing tasks.

Core offering

Lasertech provides contract laser processing services for industrial customers, covering laser welding, industrial 3D printing (Selective Laser Melting for metals and SLS for plastics), laser metal deposition (LMD) for coating and repair, laser hardening, laser marking, and non-destructive testing. The company operates as a one-stop-shop, performing the majority of services under one roof and taking full value-chain responsibility from design to delivered component. Customers include defense, automotive, medical technology, and general manufacturing firms primarily in Sweden and the Nordics.

Product overview

Lasertech is a service-based company offering advanced laser processing and additive manufacturing services on a job-shop basis. The core portfolio consists of six specialized laser services: Laser Welding (Lasersvetsning) for precision joining, 3D-Printing using SLM and SLS technologies for metal and plastic components, Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) for coating and repair, Laser Hardening for surface treatment, Laser Marking for traceability, and Non-Destructive Testing (MT and PT). The company operates as a one-stop-shop, combining multiple techniques under one roof and serving industries including defense, automotive, medical technology, and energy sectors.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Laser Welding (Lasersvetsning) Precision laser welding service offering minimal heat impact and deformation, capable of welding materials from thin foils to thick castings using high energy density to join diverse material types with superior strength properties. Designed for industrial customers in defense, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing.
• 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing Industrial 3D printing service using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) for metal components and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for plastic parts (PA 1101, PA 2200), specializing in complex geometries and custom components for prototype and series production. Targeted at industrial customers needing detailed, strong components with high precision and minimal material waste.
• Laser Metal Deposition (LMD / Laserpåsvetsning) Additive manufacturing method that applies metallic coatings to components to improve surface properties or repair damaged surfaces. Metal powder is fed into a laser-generated melt pool, achieving strong metallurgical bonding with lower dilution than conventional overlay welding. Used by industrial customers for component repair and surface enhancement.
• Laser Hardening (Laserhärdning)
• Laser Marking (Lasermärkning)
• Non-Destructive Testing (Oförstörande provning)

Broad incumbents

• Höganäs AB: Swedish metal powder producer that also operates additive manufacturing services and Digital Metal. Comparable because it sits in the same Swedish metal AM ecosystem, serving overlapping industrial customers with broader capabilities than a pure service bureau.
• voestalpine Additive Manufacturing: European steel and metal AM service provider offering laser-based additive manufacturing, heat treatment, and surface engineering. Overlaps with Lasertech's metal 3D printing, LMD, and laser hardening service lines for industrial customers.
• TRUMPF: German manufacturer of laser systems and machine tools, also offering laser-based manufacturing services. Comparable as a much larger incumbent in laser welding, marking, and AM systems that competes for similar industrial customers.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Service bureau arm of Stratasys providing industrial 3D printing and post-processing for prototyping and production. Comparable as a multi-technology AM service provider targeting similar industrial and regulated end markets.
• Materialise: Global 3D printing service bureau with industrial metal and polymer AM offerings, including certified production for regulated industries. Comparable business model (contract AM services) and similar quality-driven customer base to Lasertech.
• Carpenter Technology: US specialty alloys producer with a growing additive manufacturing services arm covering metal powder supply and finished AM components. Comparable in the metal AM value chain serving aerospace, medical, and industrial customers.

Direct peers

• Beam IT: Sweden-based metal additive manufacturing service bureau offering SLM/DMLS printing and post-processing for industrial customers. Directly comparable to Lasertech as a domestic Swedish subcontractor competing for the same Nordic industrial AM workload.
• Bodycote: Global provider of heat treatment and surface technology services, including laser-based surface treatments. Comparable to Lasertech's laser hardening and LMD offerings for industrial customers requiring specialized thermal processing.
• Burloak Technologies: Additive manufacturing service bureau specializing in metal AM for aerospace, defense, and medical applications. Comparable business model and customer verticals (defense, medtech) to Lasertech's core segments.

Regional players

• Quintus Technologies: Swedish provider of high-pressure processing and advanced manufacturing equipment serving industrial customers. Adjacent regional peer given overlapping Nordic industrial customer base and complementary advanced manufacturing positioning.
