Making the Right Choice in Your Permanent Marking Solution

Permanent marking can be defined as a process for “lifetime” product identification. This requires markings of a very robust nature to ensure they can withstand the lifetime test. Our products sustain this requirement, as, in our opinion, only embedded forms of marking will work.

This embedded method requires permanency and that can only be achieved by techniques that alter the surface of the material to be marked. While this alteration in some cases could cause surface deformation, it is not necessarily true in all cases.

This is where having an industry expert such as TYKMA Electrox can make the difference between the right or wrong choice of products. TYKMA Electrox helps its customers make the right choice every time.

These choices range from the marking technique to the overall system design. Often, the marking challenge is in the implementation of the right technique to the customer’s process.

Building Relationships With Our Customers

Our customer relationships are of the utmost importance to us. We don’t exist to just sell marking systems; our main focus is on solving complex marking challenges. The identification industry is evolving rapidly, and with little industry education on the subject matter available, we strive to fill that gap.

Together with our nationwide sales network and growing base of international distributors, TYKMA Electrox is dedicated to providing durable, high-quality, cost-effective solutions to your product identification needs.
