Three ways we work with manufacturers
Laser Marking
Contract marking on steel, aluminium, brass, titanium, stainless and engineered plastics — plus wood, glass and stone. Several laser types, because no one laser suits every job.

Your laser needs are met by our professional staff supported by modern equipment, quality methods and a commitment to your satisfaction.
We started in 1986 as Applied Light Inc. distributing laser spare parts and components. Today we are Applied Light Manufacturing, Inc. which better describes our orientation to making products, marking products and serving the manufacturing sector.
Our core business is laser marking. We use many lasers to mark metals, plastics, wood and glass for industrial customers in the Northeast and some throughout North America. Applied Light also builds equipment for industry to use in their facilities. Our hands on experience is a great guide to what works and what makes money.
Applied Light uses best practices to handle and mark customer parts. This means attention to detail, a commitment to understanding and following requirements and standards. We maintain a library of standards so that your needs are met exactly.
