Fonon Technologies, a government and military contractor providing sales and marketing services to the U.S. Government and the Department of Defense (DOD), joins Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, in announcing that the two companies are co-hosting an exhibit booth at MegaRust 2024, an annual trade show focused on corrosion control solutions for the Navy, Marine Corps and other segments of naval services.

"Laser Photonics offers professionals its CleanTech laser blasting system as the leading-edge solution in combating corrosion, a substantial challenge to naval systems," said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. "This time, we're joined by Fonon Technologies at MegaRust to educate fleet professionals on how they can benefit from using our advanced technology."

Hosted by the American Society of Naval Engineers, MegaRust provides attendees with the latest information on programs, policies, standards and fleet experience related to corrosion while promoting discussion and information sharing about technologies and strategies for controlling corrosion.

What: MegaRust 2024

When: May 21-23, 2024

Where: Marriott Mission Valley (8757 Rio San Diego Dr., San Diego, CA 92108)

Booth: 12

The conference provides an impartial forum for dialogue between government organizations, commercial organizations and providers of corrosion control products, processes, technologies and solutions. Participants include representatives from military, industry, and government organizations involved with research, design, engineering, construction, maintenance, modernization and the operation of naval systems affected by corrosion.

At MegaRust, Laser Photonics and its affiliated company, Fonon Technologies, will present a selection of laser systems, including the newest version of Laser Photonics' CleanTech Handheld LPC-1500-AC, which has been updated to a much smaller and more portable form factor. The co-hosts will also highlight the DefenseTech 100M-MRLS laser cleaning system, an innovative technology targeting the needs of defense industry professionals. Lastly, LPC and Fonon Technologies will showcase the DefenseTech Blaster Cabinet DT-50-BC, DefenseTech Handheld DT-200-MRLS, and the DefenseTech Handheld DT-2000 MRLS defense-focused laser systems, which are manufactured by Laser Photonics and sold to the defense industry by Fonon Technologies.

Government fleet professionals will have the chance to learn how LPC's technology can help with rust control, corrosion and coating removal, optimizing MRO processes and streamlining inventory maintenance. LPC will also talk about its full portfolio of industrial-grade laser systems for material processing, including WeldTech systems for laser welding and others.
