Trotec Laser has opened a new 550 square metre showroom and demonstration facility in Brisbane, to strengthen its Queensland sales and service operations.
The new facility at Loganholme includes two machine showrooms, with one devoted to the industrial sector, as well as a "laser inspiration room" for applications, as well as training facilities, and offices for additional staff. The company supplies laser equipment, including cutters and engravers used in the printing industry.
Reece Moore, managing director of Trotec Australia, said the new facility would allow Trotec to better serve its Queensland customers. "Not only does it have a larger warehouse and office space to enable us to offer an unparalleled customer experience, it is also home to the most advanced laser demonstration and training facility in Australia," he said.
"The new facility offers Trotec a vehicle for growth, not only in Queensland, but also Australia, and the ability to offer more products and services to meet the evolving demands of our customers. The investment by the Trodat-Trotec Group is a testament to the success of the Australian subsidiary.
"We focus on providing an excellent customer experience and I have no doubt that our new facility will only enhance our capabilities so that we can continue to meet our customers’ increasing requirements," he said.
Cameron Dick, Queensland minister for state development, manufacturing, infrastructure and planning, opened the facility, and expressed his hope that the expansion would create local jobs.
“Queensland is proud to be a manufacturing state, and it’s growth like this that highlights the significant level of confidence we’re currently seeing in the local sector,” he said. “I thank Trotec Laser for continuing to choose Logan, for creating more jobs, and for pushing a new and exciting agenda when it comes to advanced manufacturing.”
