Synrad Announces Laser Industry's
First 3 Year Warranty

MUKILTEO, Washington, January 3, 2005 – Synrad, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of sealed CO₂ lasers, today announced that its 10 watt 48-1 series now ships with a full 3-year warranty. The Synrad 48-1, available in both air and water-cooled versions, is the largest selling industrial laser of all time.

“Synrad’s main mission has always been to provide the most reliable and cost effective industrial lasers,” said Jenifer Bunis, Synrad Executive Vice-President. “For OEMs in the marking and engraving industry, the 48-1 laser has set the standards for reliability and long life performance.  By now offering the industry's best 10 watt laser with a 3 year warranty, Synrad continues to provide the best combination of price, features and dependability for our customers.”

World’s largest selling industrial laser is also the most reliable

With tens of thousands of 48-1 lasers shipped worldwide, Synrad’s 10-watt workhorse is the engine inside thousands of commercial engraving and marking systems.  In that highly competitive industry, any field failure can include remote service, repair and shipping cost, and customer down time that can quickly turn a profitable sale into an instant net loss.  By providing the first industrial laser with a 3-year warranty, Synrad confirms its commitment to product leadership in the engraving and marking industries.

Synrad's goal in its more than 20 years as the world-leading provider of sealed CO₂ laser solutions has always been to exceed the customer’s expectations by providing the best in industrial laser solutions. With the introduction of the industry's first 3-year warranty, the Synrad 48-1 continues that commitment.
