From Trellis to Laser Cutting: The Early Days

Mildura Laser originally began as a trellis manufacturing business supporting local agriculture in Northwest Victoria, Australia.

The company operated in two highly seasonal industries: trellis manufacturing and harvest contracting. To create a more stable year-round business, the team explored opportunities in metal cutting and fabrication.

The decision to invest in laser technology transformed the company from a seasonal agricultural supplier into a diversified metal-cutting operation serving a broader range of industrial customers.

“Since manufacturing and harvest contracting are highly seasonal, laser cutting gave us a year-round opportunity.” Mildura Laser

Building a Community and a Platform for Future Growth

The Eagle system increased cutting speed dramatically, particularly when processing thicker materials. According to the company, work that once required an entire shift on a CO₂ machine can now be completed in a fraction of the time.

Beyond technology, Mildura Laser values the broader Eagle ecosystem. The company benefits from relationships with other Eagle users and a responsive local support network that helps maintain confidence in daily production.

Installation and training took only a few days, allowing the business to realize benefits almost immediately. Today the company continues to explore additional automation and future Eagle investments as customer demand grows.
