Our History

From a small start in 1989, Pyramid has survived the ups and downs of the technology industry and continues to be the "go to supplier" for bespoke laser systems
1989 - Pyramid Engineering Services is founded

Pyramid Engineering Services started with a small factory in Peckham. A group of ex-SLEE engineers continued support for SLEE equipment, with a vision to design and deliver the most advanced technology in welding equipment.

1990 - First system installed

First system installed abroad in Russia HPS seam sealer system.

1993 - First laser system designed

First laser system was designed and manufactured.

1996 - Pyramid expands

Pyramid expanded into two factories, employing over 50 staff. This coincided with the rise of the large optical component businesses:

  • Nortel Networks Plc, in Paignton, Harlow, Ottawa Canada
  • HP (Agilent Technologies Ltd) Ipswich, Singapore, Chang Mai Thailand
  • Alcatel Greenwich, Nozay , Lanion, Marcoussis France.

Pyramid also supplied sub-contract houses used by the above businesses, such as Fabrinet and Venture.

First laser welding system was installed in a Chinese government institute. Pyramid was quickly established as the "go to supplier" for laser systems.

2008 to 2009 - Pyramid forced to downsize

Following the decline in technology in UK and Europe, Pyramid downsized and moved to a small factory in Erith Kent, with a small team of only six employees. The company continued to deliver the most advanced technology solutions to customers in UK, China and Russia.

2011 - Demand starts to grow

The company started to grow and expand once again, increasing to nine employees by the end of 2012.

2013 - Pyramid introduces artifical intelligence

The advancement of vision alignment aids allowed Pyramid to explore the use of AI to deliver fully automated welding systems.

2017 - Stead Holdings takes over Pyramid

The take over by the larger group Stead Holdings, enabled Pyramid to increase our capabilities and introduce 3D-design and automation.

2018 - Pyramid manufactures a worlds first!

This year saw the manufacture of the world's first fibre laser welding system with oscillating beam control, for the welding of semiconductor packages for the telecommunications industry. Manufacture of these welding systems has continued and Pyramid now has three systems in operation in the field.
