Many success stories have started in a garage. This was also the case when Matthias Kluczinski and his partners at the time founded eurolaser in 1994. They worked late into the night assembling the first production machines based on laser technology in the garage, while during the day they looked for customers. Today, eurolaser is a globally active company and is one of the market leaders for large-format laser systems for cutting, engraving and marking in non-metal processing. These include plastics such as polyester or acrylic, wood and MDF, textiles and composites as well as many other materials. However, one thing has not changed since the company was founded: eurolaser's systems are productive, durable and simple. Reliability, long-term commitment and open communication are therefore clear core values of the company philosophy.

Shaping success stories worldwide since 1994
September 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of eurolaser. Over the years, around 1,500 laser systems have been installed all over the world and numerous customer success stories have been actively shaped. The medium-sized company from Lüneburg now counts well-known companies among its customers. Products include shoes, textile advertising banners, high-tech films for space research, car interiors, furniture, signs, flags and banners, toys, sunshades, filters, sensor films and much, much more. The potential applications for laser systems are far from exhausted.
"Our great strength is listening. Our customers recognise themselves in the solutions because they are based on their ideas and requirements. New developments are inspired by our customers' wishes," says Kim Dittmer, daughter of founder Matthias Kluczinski and part of the management team, adding: "If we don't have the right solution in our portfolio, we develop it together. Sharing ideas and listening to each other is extremely important. Our commitment and expertise form the cornerstone of this. However, the driving force behind our development has always been satisfied and successful customers, and this will not change in the future. We continue to grow - together with our customers and their challenges."
The secret of success is above all quality and modularity. Laser systems from eurolaser are extremely durable and flexible. "It's something very special for me that the machine at our first customer is still running reliably today!" says Matthias Kluczinski, Managing Director and founder of eurolaser. This quality awareness is deeply rooted in the company and can be found in many details, both in the technology and in everyday company life. The pursuit of innovation and successful solutions currently drives around 100 employees in Lüneburg to constantly look at things from different angles in order to find and implement production-relevant solutions. As a result, laser technology has been successfully exported to local markets as well as the global market as a cutting-edge technology of German mechanical engineering.
The family business enters the next generation
eurolaser is also a genuine family business. Founder and Managing Director Matthias Kluczinski now works together with his daughter, Kim Dittmer, and his sons Nic and Tommi Lee Kluczinski. This family-like cooperation is also reflected in the customer relationships. "I see us as friends of our customers, we have a very human touch," says Matthias Kluczinski. "I am delighted that my children have become part of the eurolaser family and are continuing this successful story with me. A history that we look back on with pride and for which we still have many plans for the future."
Of course, an anniversary like this also needs to be celebrated. That's why a major in-house exhibition, INNOVATION DAYS, is already being planned for 11 and 12 September 2024. Under the motto "Circle of inspiration", eurolaser will present the latest technical developments as well as a large exhibition of partner companies with an evening event at the anniversary trade fair.
eurolaser's own ambition remains high: "We want to continue to move the market and shape the future of laser processing with our customers."
