Take Kidderminster based Central Profiles Laser Cutting Ltd, for example. A subcontract fabrication shop supporting a multitude of industries, this 10-year-old company has already topped annual turnover of £750,000 and is now looking to move up a gear thanks to its recent investment in an Amada LC3015 F1 CNC laser profiling centre with 4kW oscillator, automatic nozzle changer and ASLUL automation tower.
