Marianne started up her Lasertechnik business specialising in repair welding for tools and mould construction in 1999. The business initially provided one-to-one welding services to local clients but she soon noticed a growing demand for serial welding. Responding to the market demand, in July 2009 the company bought a new “high-tech“ machine to help them start serial welding. This purchase was made with a EUR 30,000 loan from the Austrian financial intermediary AWS (Austria Wirtschaftsservice) and gave Marianne the tools to do a more precise and more efficient job. Demand so far remains high given their wide customer base and the business is growing.
