Huisman Czech Republic Introduces Laser Welding. The Technology Will Deliver Faster and More Accurate Production
Sviadnov, January 21, 2026 – Huisman Czech Republic is expanding its manufacturing capabilities and introducing laser welding technology at its Sviadnov facility. The new method will enable faster and more accurate production of thin-walled structures and covers used across various projects manufactured at the Czech plant.
Laser welding uses a highly concentrated laser beam that melts the material at the joint. Once solidified, it forms a strong and precise weld. The technology has been developing since the 1950s and 1960s, but its most significant progress came with the advent of fibre lasers after 2000. Huisman Czech Republic acquired a handheld laser welder in 2025 with the aim of expanding its technological expertise and verifying its applicability in regular production.
“Laser welding is fast and has a low thermal impact on the material. That means less deformation and fewer follow-up operations, such as grinding or straightening. It gives us room for more efficient processing of parts made from thinner materials,” says Tomáš Strouhal, Technical Development Manager, Huisman Czech Republic.
The technology is suitable wherever a precise and strong joint is needed with minimal disturbance to the surrounding material. In Sviadnov, laser welding is currently used for secondary structures and covers, and broader application to other product types is being considered for the future. As with other welding methods, procedure and welder certification is required, along with strict safety measures.
“Laser welding can be performed manually or robotically. This gives us scope for further expansion of automated workplaces,” says Antonín Jedinák, Welding Engineer, Huisman Czech Republic.
Huisman Czech Republic sees laser welding as an opportunity to accelerate production, reduce the workload on welders, and achieve more accurate processing of selected parts. The technology complements the existing portfolio of welding methods and broadens the possibilities for their use in manufacturing.
