Wetherby laser cutting business announces 94% growth in turnover

MBA Engineering, the laser cutting and metal fabrication equipment supplier, has announced a rapid increase in growth over the past year following an influx of machine sales.

The Wetherby-based fibre laser specialist reported a turnover of £1.4m for 2017/18, an increase of 94% compared to the previous year.

The company has almost doubled its turnover in the last 12 months alone.

MBA said that this growth is partly due to it’s exclusive partnership with Polish fibre laser manufacturer, Kimla.

The company recently replaced two CO2 machines with one Kimla fibre laser for Cook Compression, a Cheshire-based compressor solutions supplier – an investment which saw the company’s capacity increase by 30%.

Following this, MBA Engineering supplied an additional Kimla machine to OVH, a French server manufacturer, after the company experienced “unprecedented” results with its original Kimla machine.

As a result of this growth period, MBA Engineering now has plans to invest and expand its machine moving service.

Bradley McBain, managing director of MBA Engineering, said: “Reflecting on the development of MBA Engineering over the past year feels like a great achievement with our 94% growth, which is thanks to the commitment and hard work of the MBA Engineering team.

“We are dedicated to the Kimla brand and spreading awareness of the advantages it has to offer is one of our priorities, alongside providing the best customer service in the industry.

“The growth of the company has allowed us to expand our team and develop specific aspects of the business, such as the machine installations, which is a key area we’d like to develop moving forward.”
