Introduction to Laserdie
Laserdie is a small
family run firm that had its humble beginnings back in 1972 when it was founded
by brothers Bill and Ted Musgrave under the name of Lennac Formes & Dies Ltd.
It grew rapidly
and acquired its first laser in 1979 and registered Laserdie as a trading
name at that time.
The company continued
to grow spurred on by its commitment to technology and innovation.
We purchased our
current 6000 sq.ft. premises in 1993 and installed a second laser in 1996.
Bill Musgrave retired
in 1998.
Bill has continued
to contribute to Laserdie as a consultant. His expertise is still a valuable
asset to us with a lifetime of experience within the industry and a former
lecturer at The London College of Print. He was also honored in 2002 with
an O.B.E. for his contribution to education.
His share of
the company has been passed on to his two sons John and Ted (jnr) Musgrave.
We have subsequently
dropped Lennac Formes & Dies Ltd. as our title in favour of Laserdie Ltd.
We provide tooling for a number
of industries including:-Pharmaceutical Packaging
Food Packaging
Corrugated Packaging
Media Packaging
(music, books, DVD's etc.)
Point of Sale
Rubber and Plastics
