Laser work in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is a schools town before anything else, and the prize-giving and sports seasons drive steady demand for engraved trophies, medals, honours boards, blazer badges and wooden plaques. Government departments and the courts order desk name plates, door signs and long-service awards, while Midlands wedding venues around Howick and Hilton want laser-cut welcome boards, table numbers and wooden favours. Mkondeni and Willowton have engineering and sheet metal works that cut mild steel brackets and fibre-mark parts, and timber and dairy farms in the Midlands order branding irons, gate signs and livestock tags. Work not done locally comes up the N3 from Durban overnight.
