At Avocet Research Centre (ARC), we specialise in developing and validating laser-based surface engineering processes designed to replace traditional chemical treatments, offering cleaner, safer, and more scalable alternatives for advanced manufacturing.
As we prepare to exhibit at Materials Research Exchange (MRE) 2026 in London on 19–20 February, we’re highlighting our capabilities in laser processing, and how they can support partners working in sectors like aerospace, energy storage, defence, and high-performance materials.
What Sets Our Laser Surface Engineering Apart
Our laser solutions deliver enhanced surface functionality while removing the environmental and operational burden associated with wet chemical processing. All processes are developed with manufacturability and scalability in mind, from early lab validation to industrial integration.
Our core capabilities include:
- Laser surface texturing and activation
- Adhesion enhancement for metal–polymer bonding
- Corrosion-resistant surface modification
- Precision laser processing of thin metals and foils
- Process development from feasibility testing through to production readiness
Whether you’re looking to improve adhesion, eliminate hazardous chemicals from your process, or apply texturing to thin substrates with high accuracy, our team can help you build a viable, production-ready pathway.
See Us at MRE 2026 – Stand 40
On the 19th and 20th of February, we’ll be at MRE 2026 in London, exhibiting at Stand 40. If you’re attending and want to explore how laser surface engineering could support your product or materials development, we’d be happy to connect.

Let’s Talk About Your Process Challenges
If your business is looking to move away from chemical surface treatments or you’re interested in how precision laser processing can improve performance, compliance, and scale, now is the right time to have that conversation.
We look forward to seeing you at MRE 2026.
