I am excited to inform you that, effective 1 February 2022, QSP Engineering in Queensland is part of LaserBond Limited.
LaserBond Limited is an ASX listed surface engineering company with its head office in NSW, facilities in South Australia and Victoria as well as technology licensees operating globally. Like QSP, LaserBond commenced as a small family business specialising in thermal spraying around 30 years ago. Since then it has dramatically expanded its surface engineering technology offering and its customer base with the development of the LaserBond® cladding process and installation of its first LaserBond® cladding system in 2001. The LaserBond and QSP businesses are highly complementary in terms of technology, service offering, personnel, innovation and customer solution ethos and research and development.
The QSP business will continue to operate as usual, delivering very high quality services and product offerings enhanced by the technical support of the whole LaserBond group. All existing personnel of QSP will remain with the business. Neville Brokenshire, the founder of QSP, will continue to support the business in a transitional role, but operational leadership of the facility will be undertaken by Steve Halloran, LaserBond’s National Production Manager.
LaserBond will provide QSP with significant financial and technical support to continue to grow the business, providing benefits to Australian industry and employing more Australians. LaserBond will continue to invest significant sums in Research and Development, developing new products and solutions, working with industry and local university partners. The acquisition of QSP will augment the manufacturing capacity and flexibility of LaserBond to lower lead times and extend the geographical coverage for the LaserBond reclamation and surface engineering service offering.
Thank you for your ongoing support of QSP. We look forward to continuing to deliver quality services and products, creating superior value for our customers, as part of LaserBond Ltd.

Chief Executive Officer
