Opened in May 2004, the Laser Centre of Excellence.pdf (534 KB) has been designed based on extensive research into manufacturing best practice within the defence and commercial sectors. It develops and grows key technology capabilities within specialist areas of laser and microelectronics manufacture.

The centre is certified to ISO Class 8, and covers an area in excess of 2000 square metres. Using specialised laminar flow optical workstations, this standard can be raised to the ultra-clean ISO class 5.
 
Modular construction techniques have been utilised to provide flexible manufacturing space and to allow for future growth.
 
A Highly skilled workforce operates within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment supporting communication and shared knowledge framed by life-cycle management with a proven ability to deal with product and process complexity.
