Wrightform are delighted to announce a significant enhancement to its manufacturing capabilities with the addition of a state-of-the-art fibre laser from TRUMPF. This strategic investment aligns with its ongoing commitment to delivering top-tier quality, higher efficiency and sustainable production for our subcontract metal fabrication customers.
Why this matters
The new fibre laser represents a major upgrade from our previous CO₂ laser systems, enabling faster cutting speeds, higher precision, lower maintenance and improved energy efficiency. For Wrightform clients, this translates into quicker turnaround times, tighter tolerances and the ability to confidently quote on more complex or demanding job profiles. It also supports the company’s mission to reduce its environmental impact — a direct benefit to both our business and our partner firms.
Support from the Suffolk Economy Grant
Wrightform are particularly pleased to acknowledge support for this project, which is part-funded by Suffolk County Council by way of the Suffolk Economy Grant programme. This scheme exists to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Suffolk invest in innovation, digital technology adoption and clean growth (including energy-efficient plant & machinery).
The grant helped Wrightform to replace its legacy CO₂ lasers and accelerate the deployment of advanced manufacturing equipment in our facility. The application and collaboration process was smooth and constructive — Wrightform values the working relationship and looks forward to building on it.
What this means for Wrightform customers
With this new capability in place, the company subcontract metal fabrication service is set to benefit in several tangible ways:
- Improved lead times – the faster cutting speeds mean the company can handle higher volumes or tighter schedules.
- Enhanced precision & capability – the TRUMPF fibre laser opens up more complex geometries, thinner sections and intricate profiles with consistent quality.
- Reduced carbon footprint – this upgrade is part of our broader sustainability drive, enabling more efficient energy usage and less waste.
Future-proofing our offer – with further improvements scheduled over the next six months, Wrightform are reinforcing their commitment to delivering the highest quality, service and responsiveness our customers expect.
Looking ahead
As the comapny roll out further enhancements to its operations, the goal remains firmly focused on being the trusted partner of choice for metal fabrication subcontract work. Wrightforms strategy focuses on quality, reliability, speed and sustainability. This investment positions Wrightform to support its clients’ evolving needs, whether they are in structural fabrication, architectural metalwork, bespoke production or high-volume runs.
