About Us - Diverse Laser

Welcome to Diverse Laser, where precision meets innovation! We are a family-owned and operated business, proud to serve as a leader in laser cutting and engraving services.

Our Story

Diverse Laser was founded in 2021 by Sheldon Burmester, who started by manufacturing plasma-cut parts out of his garage. As demand for his high-quality work grew, Sheldon expanded the business into what became Diverse Laser. In June 2024, the company transitioned into the hands of Kevin and Wendy Coleborn, experienced business owners who also operate Extreme Engraving & Awards. They brought their expertise in precision craftsmanship to Diverse Laser, merging both businesses onto the same premises to create a hub of high-tech, custom manufacturing.

Kevin and Wendy’s passion for detail and innovation has helped drive Diverse Laser’s growth since they took over. A key part of the team is their son, Rory Coleborn, who operates the advanced laser cutting machinery with precision and dedication. Rory’s technical know-how ensures that every project is executed with meticulous care and attention to detail.
