About us
Who We Are
We started OptoWeld because we believe laser welding shouldn’t just live in labs or big corporations — it belongs in real UK workshops. Our passion is taking advanced laser science and turning it into practical tools that make life easier for fabricators, engineers, and manufacturers.
We work with a trusted European partner to build systems that combine solid engineering with strict quality standards. Every machine is designed for precision, speed, and reliability — but more importantly, it’s built to solve everyday welding problems on the shop floor.
Why We Do it
Traditional welding methods like TIG and MIG have served industry well — but they can be slow, messy, and expensive. Laser welding is the next step: faster, cleaner, and better for joining thin or tricky materials.
For our customers, this means:
Better results – strong, smooth welds with minimal distortion
More speed – higher throughput with less rework
Lower costs – less waste, less grinding, and fewer hours lost
We don’t just sell machines. We partner with UK manufacturers to make the transition to laser welding simple and worthwhile — giving you tools that improve quality, save time, and raise the standard of UK craftsmanship.
Simon Hutchinson, PhD
“I’ve spent over 25 years working with lasers, but what excites me most is putting this technology into the hands of people who actually build things. Welding is at the heart of UK manufacturing, and laser welding gives fabricators a faster, cleaner, and better way to do their work.
For me, the best part of OptoWeld is meeting people in workshops, understanding their challenges, and showing them how this technology can make their lives easier while raising the standard of what we make here in the UK.”
Lukas Miseikis, PhD
“My career has always revolved around lasers — from designing new systems during my PhD at Imperial, to building devices for medicine and defence, even writing code for global finance. But what drives me is taking complex science and turning it into something practical.
At OptoWeld, that means giving UK manufacturers tools that are precise, reliable, and simple to use. For me, the real reward isn’t in the theory — it’s seeing someone fire up a system, finish a job faster and cleaner than ever, and walk away proud of the result.”
