Spectrum Technologies has been at the forefront of laser wire processing technology for over 35 years; developing and applying leading edge technology to provide solutions to problems in advanced manufacturing, and pioneering the use of laser technology to solve a range of issues.
Established in 1989 as a spin out from BAE Systems’ Advanced Technology Centre, Spectrum was the pioneer behind the commercialisation of UV laser wire marking technology within the aerospace industry. The UV laser marking process is now the global industry standard for the identification of aerospace wire and cable.
Following the original development of laser wire stripping by NASA in 1979, laser wire stripping was actually commercialised and developed further by Spectrum Technologies also.
Spectrum has since become the world leader in the design and manufacture of specialised, laser-based industrial wire processing equipment for use in the manufacture of complex wire harnesses and wiring assemblies found in aerospace, defence, medical, rail, automotive, and other critical industries.
Today the company employs around 75 staff worldwide with sales and service offices in Texas, USA and Shanghai, China, and have delivered systems to over 65 countries. All design and manufacturing is carried out at the company’s UK headquarters in Bridgend.
