Laser work in Newcastle
Newcastle's steel works, chemical plants and textile and clothing factories give laser shops a solid industrial base: mild steel brackets and flanges cut on fibre lasers, stainless equipment tags, machine nameplates and engraved control panels. The surrounding coal mines and cattle farms add mine safety signage, branding irons, farm gate signs and livestock ear tags. In town, schools in Newcastle, Madadeni and Osizweni order trophies, medals and honours boards for sports days and prize-givings, and families order engraved gifts, photo plaques and memorial plates. Small local engravers handle gifts and signs, with heavier sheet metal and machine supplies coming from Durban or Gauteng.
