Sale of MarkStar Pro Handheld Laser System Underscores Growing Demand for Precision Surface Material Removal Solutions; Follow-on Orders Expected

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE) ("Laser Photonics" or the "Company"), a global leader in laser systems for industrial and defense applications, today announced it has received a purchase order from a European industrial customer for an OEM-customized MarkStar Pro handheld laser marking system, to be used in a selective surface material removal application and to enhance part identification and traceability in accordance with MIL-STD-130. This sale adds to a growing base of customers across the defense, aerospace, space travel, energy, and manufacturing sectors that rely on the Company's handheld laser technology for permanent identification, traceability, and surface treatment applications.

The customer selected Laser Photonics' solution as the only laser platform that met their specific performance and integration requirements. The OEM-customized configuration was engineered to address the customer's specialized surface material removal process while supporting their regulatory and traceability objectives, underscoring the versatility and adaptability of the Company's product portfolio. The customer has indicated plans to purchase additional systems as production scales, signaling the potential for a longer-term commercial relationship.

The MarkStar Pro is a fully portable, handheld fiber laser marking system designed for precision surface treatment, material removal, and permanent, high-contrast marking on metals and many industrial plastics in demanding industrial environments. The system enables users to apply human-readable text, serial numbers, logos, and 2D Data Matrix codes directly to large or installed components that cannot be easily moved to a stationary workstation, making it ideal for defense, aerospace, space travel, and other heavy industrial environments. A marquee product in the Company's portfolio for more than 20 years, the MarkStar platform is engineered to support regulatory and traceability standards such as MIL-STD-130 and the CDRH Class IV laser safety standard, and is widely deployed across critical industries including defense, aerospace, space travel, space, oil and gas, and food and beverage manufacturing. Its compact form factor and high-performance fiber laser source make it well-suited for applications requiring selective surface processing, including cleaning, marking, and coating removal. By deploying MarkStar Pro, customers are able to apply durable identification markings that support Unique Item Identification (UID) and MIL-STD-130 compliance across a wide range of assets. The system's non-contact process produces abrasion- and corrosion-resistant marks that maintain readability throughout the lifecycle of the equipment, improving inventory control, maintenance tracking, and regulatory compliance. The platform's OEM configuration capability enables Laser Photonics to deliver tailored solutions for customers seeking to integrate advanced laser technology into their own products, production lines, and product offerings and workflows.
