Trotec was formed in 1997 from a research branch of Trodat and has since become a world leader in laser technology. Trotec develops, manufactures and markets laser systems for marking, cutting and engraving. We serve customers in more than 90 countries and more than 500 employees worldwide. The UK subsidiary was formed in 2007 serving customers throughout the British Isles and Ireland. With 6 showrooms and a dedicated team of field-based service staff, Trotec UK is committed to supporting our customers locally.
Each of our dedicated laser showrooms is home to a range of Trotec laser systems, including flatbed, galvo and large format models. The best way to see the benefits of a Trotec laser machine is by booking an appointment at your local showroom. We also offer online laser demonstrations if you are unable to make it to our showrooms.
Our online demos are a great opportunity to experience a Trotec laser from the comfort of your own home. Hosted by your area manager, the demonstration will take you through a comprehensive overview of the laser machine and how your business could benefit from a laser.
The demos can be tailored to suit your application as well as incorporate your own design files into the demonstration, giving you a fully personalised experience as you would receive in the showrooms.
Contact us today to book your online demo and meet your area manager online.
