The story of the company's relocation from Russia to Europe

$
Apr.1994

THE BEGINNING

Founded in 1994 and based in Russia, we were one of the first companies to start selling photo-processing equipment in the Russian Federation and CIS countries.
A large number (over 200 sets) of Noritsu and Fujifilm minilabs were imported from Japan.
Strong technical support and crystal clear reputation have helped us become one of the market leaders.

THE SERVICE

The growing number of customer requirements has led us to start selling spare parts for minilabs and to create a technical support department with well-trained and highly qualified service engineers.
In sales of spare parts, we were also the first to use the idea of ​​sending spare parts directly from the supplier’s warehouse from Japan to the client’s place.
Many service centers and laboratory owners from all over the world buy spare parts for Noritsu and Fujifilm minilabs using our service.
We only sell original Japanese parts.

Our Platinum Dealer status gives us the opportunity to offer our customers very attractive prices and shorter terms.
Prices depend on the volume of the order, and even after the first order, the client receives a 5% lifetime discount on all subsequent orders.
If you want to check our prices - make a trial order and compare our service with your spare parts supplier.

EXPERIENCE

After the start of sales of digital photo laboratories, we met the needs of our customers who wanted to repair a faulty laser unit.
We decided to start accepting orders for the repair of laser units by sending them to the manufacturer's service center in Japan for repair.
At the same time, we tried to gain experience in identifying the causes of the problems of Noritsu and Fujifilm lasers, and also tried to find methods for its treatment.

RESEARCH

Until the end of 2007, in-depth laser research was completed, and this allowed us to begin developing our first laser in our design.
We began to offer our laser repair service to all our customers, and with each order we gained more and more experience in their repair and fine adjustments, since all cases were different and required all our potential.

THE BRAND

THE BRAND “MINILABLASER.COM” WAS BORN

May.2009

First SLD

ULM ver.3

Our first BLUE laser based on semiconductor laser diodes was developed by our research center.
The laser had a 450 nm laser diode as the main emitting element and showed perfect stability during testing.
The new design of our laser module is called - SLD [Semiconductor Laser Diode]. I decided to stop the practice when the user had to send the entire laser unit to a service center in another country or even a continent, and proposed a completely new approach to laser repair: the user replaces the module on the spot and saves money on transportation.
This idea has been warmly accepted by our customers.
We were again the first to offer this opportunity to the community of photo finishers.
The mystical cloak over the laser replacement process was ripped off.
