Complete Manufacturing & Fulfilment Solutions
FC Laser’s integrated manufacturing and fulfilment solutions bring production, finishing, assembly, storage and dispatch together through one experienced supplier.
From laser cutting and sheet metal fabrication through to finishing, storage and dispatch, each stage can be coordinated around your production and order fulfilment requirements.
Integrated Fulfilment Solutions
With production, assembly and fulfilment coordinated through FC Laser, customers can reduce the delays and complications that often come from working with multiple suppliers. Once your parts are manufactured and assembled, they can move directly into the required storage, packing and dispatch process.
This integrated approach can improve production efficiency, reduce unnecessary transport movements and help reduce delivery time by creating a clearer route through the supply chain from manufacture to final dispatch.
One Experienced Supplier
Coordinate multiple manufacturing processes through FC Laser rather than managing separate subcontractors or outsourcing each production stage independently.
Integrated Fabrication Services
Access laser cutting, sheet metal fabrication, welding and fabrication, finishing and assembly through one manufacturing partner.
Production Through to Fulfilment
Keep production moving beyond manufacture with secure storage, packing and dispatch support, creating a more seamless transition between completed production and fulfilment.
Our Manufacturing & Fulfilment Solutions Process
FC Laser can support the complete journey from raw material through manufacturing and finishing to the storage and dispatch of finished products.
Laser Cutting & Fabrication
Precision laser cutting and sheet metal fabrication create components according to your production requirements.
Welding, Forming & Finishing
Components can progress through CNC folding, welding and fabrication, powder coating and other required finishing processes.
Assembly & Fulfilment
Finished components can be assembled, securely stored, packed and prepared for dispatch, helping create a coordinated route from completed manufacture into fulfilment.
What Can Be Included in a Fulfilment Programme?
FC Laser can coordinate manufacturing and fulfilment solutions around how finished products need to be stored, managed, prepared, released and delivered.
By coordinating these stages alongside manufacturing and fabrication services, FC Laser can provide a more connected route from finished production through to final dispatch.
The Advantages of Integrated Manufacturing Solutions
Keeping metal manufacturing, finishing and fulfilment closely coordinated can reduce unnecessary transport between subcontractors while providing one clear point of contact throughout production.

Who Are Manufacturing Fulfilment Solutions Best Suited To?
Total manufacturing and fulfilment solutions can support established manufacturers and small businesses looking to scale production, with products held, released in phases or dispatched to agreed locations without increasing their own storage and fulfilment capacity.
Ongoing Production Programmes
Suitable for repeat and scalable manufacturing programmes where production and fulfilment need to remain closely coordinated over time.
Scheduled Releases
Ideal for businesses that need finished products released in scheduled batches rather than delivered as one complete production run.
Limited Warehouse Capacity
Suitable for manufacturers that need greater flexibility around when finished products arrive at their own facilities, reducing pressure on internal storage and warehouse management.
Multi-Location Delivery
Useful for programmes where finished products need to reach different production sites, distribution centres or other operational locations.
Phased Project Requirements
Supports longer-term projects where manufactured components are required at different stages rather than in a single delivery.
Fluctuating Production Demand
Suitable for businesses where order volumes or delivery requirements change over time, creating a need for greater flexibility between production and dispatch.

FAQs
Can FC Laser manage several manufacturing processes for one project?
Yes. FC Laser provides integrated fabrication services including cutting, bending, welding and fabrication, finishing and assembly, allowing multiple stages of a manufacturing programme to be coordinated through one supplier.
Does FC Laser provide sheet metal fabrication as part of its fulfilment service?
Yes. Sheet metal fabrication can form part of a wider end-to-end service that continues through finishing, assembly, storage, packing and dispatch where required.
Can finished products be stored before they are dispatched?
Yes. Secure storage and inventory management can be incorporated into FC Laser’s manufacturing solutions, allowing finished products to be held until they are required for dispatch.
Can FC Laser dispatch finished products to multiple locations?
Finished products can be prepared for dispatch to agreed production sites, distribution centres or other locations as part of the wider fulfilment programme. Delivery requirements should be agreed around the needs of each project.
Can FC Laser support call-off orders and scheduled product releases?
FC Laser’s storage and fulfilment capabilities can support phased deliveries and scheduled product releases where these form part of the agreed production programme.
Can packaging be tailored to the product or destination?
Packaging requirements can be agreed around the product and intended transport method to help ensure finished components are appropriately prepared for dispatch.
Why use one supplier for manufacturing and fulfilment?
Combining sheet metal manufacturing, finishing, assembly, storage and dispatch through one supplier can reduce handovers between subcontractors, simplify communication and create a more coordinated production and fulfilment process.
