Richardson Electronics, Ltd. Expands Global Reach of LaserSlat SAVER® with New E-Commerce Capabilities and European Availability

New online purchasing capabilities support broader market adoption; Company to showcase LaserSlat SAVER at FABTECH® 2026 and EuroBLECH 2026

LAFOX, Ill., Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), a global leader in the aftermarket of industrial laser consumables, today announced the launch of e-commerce capabilities for select LaserSlat SAVER^® products on rellaser.com, expanding the Company’s digital sales capabilities and providing U.S. customers with a more direct and convenient purchasing option. The Company also announced that LaserSlat SAVER is now available across a broad range of European markets.

LaserSlat SAVER is Richardson Electronics’ eco-friendly preventative maintenance solution designed to help reduce slag buildup on laser cutting machine slats. By helping maintain cleaner slats, the solution supports consistent cutting performance, reduces maintenance requirements, minimizes downtime, and extends the useful life of laser cutting table components. LaserSlat SAVER is compatible with all laser cutting machines and performs effectively on high-power fiber lasers up to 100 kW.

Adding online purchasing expands Richardson Electronics’ digital sales capabilities and provides an additional channel to reach customers in the laser-cutting market. The e-commerce functionality complements the Company’s existing direct sales and technical support capabilities and makes it easier for U.S. customers to research and purchase select LaserSlat SAVER products online. Expanded availability across European markets provides more European fabricators access to the product through Richardson Electronics’ established European infrastructure and supports the Company’s strategy to grow its recurring consumables business.

“Expanding our digital sales capabilities and European availability gives more customers convenient access to LaserSlat SAVER and helps us broaden the product’s reach in the laser cutting market,” said Claudio Schutz, Vice President and General Manager of the Industrial Components Group at Richardson Electronics. “We see continued opportunity to build awareness and adoption of LaserSlat SAVER among fabricators seeking to reduce maintenance, increase uptime, ensure part quality, and maximize equipment utilization.”

The Company will exhibit at Booth 11-F166, where attendees can learn more about LaserSlat SAVER and the Company’s expanding portfolio of premium aftermarket parts and consumables for industrial laser systems.
