International Vision, Local Operations
HSG Laser's manufacturing base in Thailand covers an area of 10,000 square meters and is expected to have an annual production capacity of 2,000 machines. This facility represents a crucial component of its global strategic expansion and signals HSG Laser's entry into the 2.0 phase of its internationalization strategy.
As early as 2012, when the first fiber laser cutting machine was sold to the Philippines, HSG Laser viewed globalization as the path to long-term corporate development. Amidst rapid global expansion, the team at HSG Laser understands that only through reliable quality, excellent service, and cutting-edge technology can global markets be successfully penetrated and global customers be won over. As of May 2024, HSG Laser has established 15 overseas branches worldwide, serving over 20,000 global customers across more than 100 countries and regions.

Simultaneously, the company is undertaking brand localization efforts to meet local product and service demands, aligning better with local market needs. By integrating internationalization and localization, and through continuous innovative efforts, HSG Laser aims to rapidly adapt to local market developments, becoming a highly globalized enterprise by 2028.
