M.C. Corporation was established by Michael and Cheryl Bilyk in 1991. Starting out in a 2,000 square foot building, M.C. Lights’ theatre and stage lighting business quickly outpaced our production capabilities. What was needed was a way to produce all of our lighting components that would eliminate the tedious and labour intensive manual production methods we were using. CNC Laser technology would allow M.C. to produce parts faster than they could imagine by combining processes that previously involved a punch press, a manual shear, and a lot of time. It would also allow us to make on-the-fly revisions to our designs to improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality without the need for re-tooling.

In 1995, M.C. Lights purchased an Amada LC1212 CNC Laser. Its 1500 watt resonator allowed parts to be manufactured from a variety of materials with tight tolerances and a very high degree of repeatability. We now had the ability to process mild steels, stainless steels, and aluminum alloys as well as many non-metallic materials such as woods, acrylics and cardboard into parts using programs derived directly from CAD drawings. Once the laser went into production, it became apparent that M.C. now had far more capacity for part production than their lighting business required and so M.C. Laser Werks was born.

The expertise we developed through prototyping and developing our own products has proven to be a valuable tool to our clients. We work closely with our clients to design products that are manufactured as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. Our design and programming departments are able to implement design changes from the smallest change in hole diameters to completely redesigning components at remarkable speeds. To improve the range of services we provide, NC forming, stamping, a full welding shop, a machine shop, sandblasting, and a powder coating facility have all been added to our rapidly expanding laser cutting business.

In recent years, we have added 3 more CNC lasers to our production line to improve our versatility. In June 2000, we added the Trumpf 2530, which allows us to cut production times for some parts by up to 50%. Its 3000 watt resonator gave us the ability to process up to ¾” thick plate steel, ¼” aluminum and ½” thick stainless steel, opening up a whole new range of possibilities for our clients. By 2002, we were ready to grow again. This time we selected the Trumpf 3030 with a 4000 watt resonator which further cut production times and increased material capacities. On the opposite end of the spectrum, our Universal Laser Engraving system allows us to etch and engrave company logos, design layouts, identification information, or anything else our clients may want on their products.

At M.C. Lights it is our commitment to put everything we have learned in the past 16 years to work for you. We work closely with our clients from concept through to finished product to ensure the utmost in quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
