New M Squared headquarters declared officially open
Located on the prestigious West of Scotland Science Park,
Glasgow, M Squared Lasers' move to new, larger headquarters was
prompted by recent additions to its product lines, and the
corresponding growth in sales and number of employees that this
produced.
Dr Graeme Malcolm, CEO of M Squared Lasers, commented, "We are
very excited to have moved to a new, larger building to accommodate
our growth, little over one year after formally launching the
company. We attribute this growth to our drive to develop
next-generation laser technologies - like our SolsTiS™ and Firefly™
lasers - that provide breakthrough performance for our customers'
applications, and also to our focus on applications and markets
with large growth opportunities. Our Firefly™ range, for instance,
provides class-leading performance for a host of emerging
applications, including the remote detection, imaging, and analysis
of explosives, drugs, hydrocarbons, bio-agents and air pollutants.
Similarly, SolsTiS™ is the smallest laser in its class, and the
first laser designed for extremely precise atomic spectroscopy that
provides truly turnkey operation. With the successful introductions
of these new products, and hiring additional people to staff these
product lines, we rapidly outgrew our original space. Our new 4500
sq ft building is newly outfitted, with state-of-the-art R&D
and production equipment, and is conveniently located close to our
original site, ideal for maintaining continuity with our customers
and suppliers. This new site will allow us to expand our design,
engineering, manufacturing and product support functions to keep
pace with our growing worldwide customer base, which we recently
expanded to include China."
Dr Malcolm continued:
"Our strong partnerships with local organizations such as Scottish
Enterprise and the University of St Andrews have been key factors
in laying solid foundations for our growth, and we are therefore
delighted that Stuart Patrick, Director of Operations for Scottish
Enterprise Glasgow, attended the formal opening of our new
headquarters."
