SAINT PAUL, MN, January 23, 2012 – LasX Industries, Inc., a leader in laser digital converting equipment and services, is proud to announce the addition of the Precision Converting Services group to better serve the electronic and industrial markets. Dean Laird has been selected to oversee the new group, and will be responsible for identifying and developing new business opportunities along with maintaining existing customer accounts. With over 22 years of experience in converting, eight of which as Production Manager at LasX, Laird’s extensive background will benefit customers as they develop production solutions for their components.
The Precision Converting Services group will function as a full service job shop offering laser converting capabilities and confidential process development for a wide range of electronic and industrial applications including membrane switch components, graphic overlays, gaskets, spacers, abrasives, and adhesive tapes.
