At Cutting Technologies (Cut-Tec), we’ve been proud members of the Association of Industrial Laser Users (AILU) for over 20 years — supporting and learning from others across the UK laser cutting industry.

Being part of AILU has been incredibly valuable, not only for staying ahead with the latest developments in industrial laser technology, but also for connecting with like-minded professionals in the subcontract laser cutting sector.

I’ve personally attended many AILU meetings over the years and always come away with fresh ideas and technical insights that have made a real difference to how we run things at Cut-Tec. From process improvements to new approaches in precision laser cutting, the shared knowledge within the AILU community has helped us continue to deliver high-quality, efficient laser cutting services to our customers.

Just as importantly, it’s given us the opportunity to share our own experiences — helping other laser subcontracting companies improve and grow too. That sense of collaboration is what makes AILU stand out.

If you’re a business owner or in a management role within the laser cutting industry, I’d strongly recommend joining AILU. It’s a fantastic network that supports innovation, builds connections, and genuinely helps move our industry forward together.
