Having been at the forefront of laser wire processing technology for over 35 years, Spectrum Technologies is acknowledged as the world leader in the design and manufacture of specialised, laser-based industrial wire processing equipment used in the manufacture of complex wire harnesses and wiring assemblies.
We are a key partner to customers, large and small, in a wide range of selected markets. These can broadly be divided into eight main industry segments.
We pioneered the use of UV laser wire marking in the late 1980s, as the safest possible method of identifying aircraft wire and cable. This process is now accepted as the global industry standard, and Spectrum is the world market leader in this field, trusted by leading aircraft OEMs and suppliers worldwide. Today the global fleet of civil and military aircraft relies on our technology for the precise, permanent and safe marking and identification of the electrical system. At any moment there are around 12,000 commercial aircraft in the air carrying one million miles of laser marked wire between them. Our laser wire stripping technology and products also provide non-contact, safe “no nick” stripping of high performance wire and cable.
Defence applications demand absolute reliability, durability, and compliance with the most stringent military standards. Our laser wire processing systems not only enhance manufacturing efficiency by delivering consistent, high-quality results, but also empower engineers in the field to carry out faster, more effective repairs. By improving both production and maintainability, our technology helps defence organisations keep critical systems mission-ready.
With increasing demand for miniaturisation and absolute accuracy, our laser systems are trusted by leading manufacturers worldwide to process delicate wires and cables used in life-changing technologies. Applications include auditory hearing devices, neuromodulation devices, catheters, and advanced imaging equipment.
Since 1993 we have supported the space industry with advanced laser manufacturing technology solutions, trusted by leading OEMs involved in the manufacture of satellites, launch vehicles, space probes, spacecraft, and the next generation of space stations. By delivering unmatched precision and reliability, we help enable the engineering breakthroughs driving the future of human spaceflight and space technology.
From precisely marking wires in new rolling stock to stripping large-diameter trackside and signalling cables, our technologies improve build quality, streamline maintenance, and reduce downtime. By supporting both vehicle manufacturing and rail infrastructure, our products offer solutions to help operators and suppliers deliver safer, more efficient networks worldwide.
As the automotive sector accelerates toward electrification, autonomous vehicles, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), wiring requirements are becoming more complex and safety-critical. Our solutions ensure accuracy, traceability, and efficiency at scale, helping manufacturers reduce errors, improve throughput, enhance security, and maintain the highest quality standards.
As connectivity demands grow with 5G, cloud infrastructure, and high-speed data networks, our technology helps manufacturers and installers deliver reliable, high-performance wiring while improving quality, reducing errors, and supporting long-term network dependability.
Electronics manufacturing demands fast, reliable, and precise wire and cable processing. Whether in consumer electronics, industrial devices, or cutting-edge technology applications, our solutions provide accuracy, traceability, and efficiency, helping manufacturers maintain the highest standards while meeting the increasing complexity and miniaturisation of modern electronic products. In addition to marking wire codes, our innovative laser wire markers enable the marking of source/destination codes on wire ends as a manufacturing aid, to speed operators and reduce error rates.
