In a changing and challenging commercial environment, Square One's Marking Solutions is now offering manufacturers and packaging companies a real choice of supplier. Having recently restructured, Marking Solutions now offers a much wider range of industrial coding and marking products into South Africa.
Marking Solutions has been in operation for over 22 years and is a company in the JSE-listed Square One Solutions Group. Recently, Marking Solutions concluded exciting new distributorship arrangements with a number of leading international coding, marking and industrial printing equipment suppliers, allowing real choice for the local industry.
In a challenging economic environment, having a choice of suppliers offers both financial and quality advantages for clients of Marking Solutions.
“The number of major international coding and marking system manufacturers has almost trebled in recent years, meaning that, around the world, manufacturers and packaging organisations have many more choices,” says Ted Michel, executive director of Marking Solutions. “It was time to bring the benefits of this to South Africa. And so, this product range considerably extends our capability to ensure the best solution for each application to the benefit of all our local manufacturers and packaging organisations.”
