From Area Development Magazine:

“As a native Virginian, there was no other place I wanted to start a company due to proximity to major shipping hubs and international airports, the ability to maintain collaborative ties with the University of Virginia, and access to bright young talent from the first-class higher education network that exists here. […] Many of our employees are originally from Virginia, or are happily transplanted, and love working at a high-tech company located in such a beautiful, friendly, and innovative state.” […]

“This Virginia-founded company’s growth is a win for Charlottesville, the Commonwealth, and our tech and manufacturing sectors. […] Virginia’s workforce training solutions helped secure these 28 new jobs, and it is a priority to assist employers like Laser Thermal that choose to put down roots and grow in the Commonwealth.”
