Detroit's Trusted Partner for Precision Laser Cutting

For more than five years, Viking Laser has delivered precision laser cutting to Detroit's automotive giants, defense contractors, and industrial fabricators. Just 20 minutes northeast of downtown Detroit via I-94, our Roseville facility sits in the strategic sweet spot between the Motor City's major plants and the tier-one supplier base spread across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties.

Detroit's manufacturing DNA Ford Motor Company headquartered in Dearborn, Stellantis assembly plants along Jefferson and Mound, General Motors' Renaissance Center, and hundreds of tier-one and tier-two suppliers from Delray to Corktown demands laser cutting partners who understand OEM specs, PPAP documentation, and aggressive production schedules. We've built our entire operation around those needs.

Whether you're a tier-two supplier in Southwest Detroit running weekly production, an R&D team near Wayne State prototyping a new component, or an aerospace fabricator supporting Selfridge ANGB contracts, our ISO 9001:2015 certified shop cuts mild steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, and copper to ±0.005" tolerances — delivered on time, every time.

Case Study

How We Helped a Southwest Detroit Tier-Two Supplier Cut Lead Time by 55%

A tier-two bracket supplier in the Rouge industrial corridor was stuck with a 17-day lead time from their previous cutting vendor, creating recurring expedite fees and OEM delivery concerns. After switching to Viking Laser, they moved to 6-day turnaround on recurring part families.

Eight months later, they've eliminated $240,000 in buffer inventory and maintained perfect on-time delivery to their Ford and Stellantis customers — no line stoppages, no chargebacks.
