Laser Photonics Corp
Laser Photonics Corp was founded in 2012 and is publicly listed under the ticker LASE on the Nasdaq. Wayne Tupuola has served as CEO since 2020, guiding the firm from a distributed fiber-laser products focus to a concentrated CleanTech industrial laser systems manufacturer. The company designs and markets laser cleaning, cutting, and welding systems primarily for heavy-industrial applications. Its core product lines include the CleanTech handheld laser cleaning system and the LPC-1000 CO2 laser marker. Customers include military depots, energy infrastructure operators, and manufacturers replacing chemical or abrasive surface-preparation methods. The firm distributes globally, with known deployment in the US and Europe (per public filings). Laser Photonics Corp employs fewer than 50 people. The firm raised approximately $8.5M through a public stock offering in January 2022. No additional offices or adjacent philanthropic vehicles are publicly reported. February 2025: the company announced a partnership with Axen to distribute CleanTech systems in the Middle East (per company press release, February 2025). The company's key structural differentiator is its focus on replacing legacy abrasive blasting with laser-based systems for safety and environmental compliance. As a publicly traded entity, it operates with quarterly earnings transparency, unlike typical family offices or private industrial tech firms.
