New Headquarters

Now 5 years old, M Squared Lasers continues to double in size every twelve months and this year, inevitably, the moment arrived when we had to up sticks and relocate from our first home at Technology Terrace on the West of Scotland Science Park.  We moved in August to our new headquarters at the prestigious Venture Building (also on the Science Park) and so far, so good.

We needed a lot of extra space across the business as we continue to rapidly expand our R&D and engineering teams as well as our manufacturing and marketing capabilities: our footprint has more than doubled at 10,000 square feet (up from 4,000 previously).  The additional elbow room has already delivered benefits including dedicated space for collaborative work - we have recently hosted working visits from partners KTH (Sweden) and McQuarrie University (Australia). Our physical location and work space now fully reflect our organisational culture, providing the open and collaborative environment which is essential for taking advanced photonics tools to market.

In addition to being a very practical and beautiful working environment,  we are very proud of our new home's terrific green credentials: a BREEAM excellent rating (one of the first in Scotland) and an annual carbon footprint equivalent to just one return flight from Britain to the United States.
