Founded in 1997, Fimark has grown to become a leading UK specialist in premium industrial laser etching, engraving, marking and texturing, proudly serving the aerospace, automotive, defence, medical and industrial sectors. This new chapter ensures that Fimark will continue to build on its strong reputation for high-precision surface finishing on complex geometries and advanced materials.

Gi-3 Growth Partners and Gi-3 Growth Holdings are owned and managed by Christopher Shelley, Henning von Spreckelsen, and Simon Duncan, who met through the Engineering in Business Fellowship (formerly Sainsbury Management Fellowship) in the 1990s.
Together, Gi-3 and Fimark are committed to honouring Charles Dean’s legacy while bringing stability, strategic oversight, and fresh opportunities for growth. With Gi-3’s extensive experience and networks, we are confident this partnership will strengthen Fimark’s foundations and create an exciting future for our dedicated team and valued clients.
