Work Culture

Malton Laser combines the most cutting-edge of 21st Century technology with the friendliness and informality of a family business. Many of our staff have worked in this sector throughout their careers – some have even worked together in previous roles. These years of experience provide the company with a unique set of skills and the ability to offer a broad range of solutions to all our customers.

We are proud of our links with the local community and work closely with local colleges and schools.

Environmental statement

Current situation; three industrial lasers are operated on our site (2 less than a year old). These represent the current best available in terms of speed and efficiency. Laser cutting technology is a mature science and offers a credible alternative to conventional methods of sheet metal production. A software driven nesting programme offers exceptional material utilisation giving the maximum yield from each sheet of raw material all the off cuts are fully recyclable. 3D CAD/CAM modelling allows efficient use of material properties (using 1 part to do 2 or more jobs). Similar materials for multiple customers can be grouped together allowing product to be realised from what otherwise be scrap materials. Machines will run on automation allowing utilisation off peak electrical supply and often unmanned.

Recycling; ALL sheet materials are fully recycled with dissimilar materials being collated in material specific skips. Timber pallets and cardboard packaging are re used where possible. Paper, toner cartridges and general office waste are collected and recycled. Excess heat from laser running is recycled into other areas requiring heat.

Fuel: delivery vehicles are renewed within 3 years fully serviced and maintained to manufactures specifications (weekly check of tyre pressures / oil levels). Their routes are planned to minimise excess mileage.

Maintenance; compressors and chillers are operated on service contracts to maintain their efficiency.

Consumables; liquid nitrogen and oxygen are delivered and stored in bulk utilising the best current storage, production and transfer systems minimising suppliers transport use.

Plastic waste; heat shrink and protective films are compacted and recycled through an approved contractor.
