In 2021, a 50-year-old company that invented the CO₂ laser for industrial cutting was on the brink of collapse—revenue had fallen 40% in two years, debt was piling up, and a new competitor had undercut their core product by 60%. This episode of The Turnaround Podcast walks through how Synrad (now Novanta Photonics) bet on a pivot from selling lasers-as-hardware to selling lasers-as-a-service, charging per hour of cutting time instead of per machine. Lucas and Luna break down the numbers: the $12 million restructuring loan, the 18-month breakeven timeline, and why the CEO chose to fire their biggest customer to save the company. Along the way, they connect the story to today's market—where the S&P 500 sits at 7,433 after a rough week for tech—and ask whether the 'as-a-service' model is a genuine lifeline or just a fashionable way to delay the inevitable. If you've ever wondered how an industrial manufacturer pivots in the age of software thinking, this episode shows exactly how hard it is. #Synrad #NovantaPhotonics #IndustrialLasers #BusinessTurnaround #LaserAsAService #BusinessModelPivot #Restructuring #Manufacturing #CO2Laser #DebtRestructuring #RevenueDecline #TechPivot #BusinessStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheTurnaroundPodcast #DistressedBusiness #Recovery Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
