Bulgarian Metal Fabricator Upgrades Aluminum Welding with SteviS Laser Technology

Background

A leading metal processing company based in Bulgaria has been offering laser cutting, welding, and bending services for various industrial sectors. Four years ago, the company invested in a handheld laser welding machine from a European supplier, mainly for welding steel components.

Challenge

With the growing demand for aluminum parts in recent years, the customer faced a new challenge: their existing laser welder was not suitable for welding aluminum effectively.

Additionally, the machine began experiencing frequent issues, and the supplier required an annual maintenance fee of €500 just to keep it operational. The high cost of after-sales support prompted the customer to start exploring alternative solutions.

Solution

During a visit to a friend’s factory, the customer noticed a SteviS handheld laser welding machine in use. Impressed by its performance, versatility, and significantly lower price compared to European brands, the customer decided to purchase one unit from SteviS for testing.

Result

The outcome exceeded expectations. The SteviS laser welder not only handled aluminum welding with exceptional quality, but also eliminated the need for expensive ongoing maintenance. As a result, the customer’s aluminum welding capability improved dramatically, enabling them to take on more high-precision projects with confidence.

Customer Feedback

“The difference was immediate. We were able to weld aluminum smoothly and consistently, something we struggled with before. On top of that, we’re saving on service costs every year. Choosing SteviS was absolutely the right move.”
