More Capacity. Greater Reach. Precision Closer to Our Customers.
Precision Laser Cutting is expanding its footprint with the addition of a second location in Ocala, Florida, marking an exciting new chapter of growth for the company and strengthening its ability to serve customers throughout Florida and the Southeast.

RAYNE, LA + OCALA, FL | More locations. More capacity. Greater reach.
Precision Laser Cutting's new 12,000-square-foot facility in Ocala, Florida.
GROWTH DRIVEN BY CUSTOMER DEMAND
The decision to expand into Ocala was driven by growing customer demand in the Florida market and an opportunity to establish a stronger presence in the region.
As Precision Laser Cutting’s business in Florida continued to grow, establishing an Ocala facility became a natural next step. Strategically located just minutes from Interstate 75, the new operation positions PLC to support industrial fabrication and production needs while creating additional opportunities for growth throughout Florida and the Southeast.
The expansion allows Precision Laser Cutting to bring its equipment, capabilities and customer-focused service closer to the companies it serves—while increasing overall capacity across its operations.
“The growth we’ve experienced in Florida created a clear opportunity for Precision Laser Cutting to expand our presence in the region,” said Ricky Cates, CEO of Forest Group Management. “Ocala gives us additional capacity, positions us closer to a growing customer base and creates new opportunities for industrial fabrication and production throughout Florida and the Southeast. We’re excited about what this facility adds to Precision Laser Cutting and where we can take it from here.”
BUILT FOR MORE
The 12,000-square-foot Ocala facility is equipped with advanced technology designed to support increased production capacity and comprehensive fabrication needs.
At the center of the operation is a new 12-kilowatt fiber laser with a 5' × 13' cutting bed, providing the power and capacity to support a wide range of production needs. The facility also features a new multi-axis, 150-ton, 10-foot press brake, along with dedicated fabrication and finishing areas.
Precision Laser Cutting – Ocala specializes in processing aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel and copper, with multi-level fabrication offerings and a variety of coating and finishing options, including painting, powder coating and plating.
By adding capacity in Florida while maintaining its primary Rayne operation, Precision Laser Cutting is positioned to provide faster turnaround, greater production capacity and more convenient access for customers throughout Florida and the Southeast.
Precision, Closer to the Customer
The Ocala expansion represents more than additional square footage and equipment. It reflects Precision Laser Cutting’s commitment to growing alongside its customers and investing where that growth can make the greatest impact.
With operations in both Rayne, Louisiana, and Ocala, Florida, Precision Laser Cutting can serve a broader geographic market while maintaining the quality, responsiveness and customer-focused service that have driven its growth.
