Trotec Laser Launches Final Assembly of Speedy Systems in US

Trotec Laser (Plymouth, MI) has announced that final assembly of Speedy 360 and Speedy 400 laser systems is now taking place at the company’s US headquarters in Plymouth, MI, a key step in Trotec’s long-term strategy to grow its US presence and bring more of its production process stateside — according to a press release.

The move is designed to improve responsiveness to US customers while increasing resilience and flexibility in Trotec’s global operations.

“We believe that this coupling of Austrian precision and American finish provides an exciting next step for the future of Trotec. Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the American market, and allows us to advance innovation while strengthening economic and supply chain resiliency,” Adam O’Donnell, head of supply chain operations (NA), is quoted in the release.

Per the company, key benefits of the shift include:

• Faster delivery and shorter lead times for Speedy systems.
• Improved part availability for service and repairs.
• Streamlined upgrades and custom configurations.
• Tighter integration between production, service and sales teams.
• Diversification of production locations, reducing risks from geopolitical events and shipping disruptions.
• Support for future capacity growth.
• Job creation and a stronger role in the US industrial base.

The Plymouth facility already manages customer service, training, warehousing and logistics. With the addition of assembly operations, the location becomes a central production hub for North American operations. This change reflects the company’s evolving role in the US market and its focus on delivering more tailored, responsive service. Trotec plans to expand the scope of US-based assembly in the future to include additional laser systems — all according to the press release.
