How edding and Elried set new standards for industrial marking

Together with Elried as a technology partner and expert in the marking and coding industry and the edding expertise in labelling and marking solutions, the edding compact printer were developed. 
edding compact printers are the new generation of innovative Industry 4.0 marking technology and convince with best reliability, highest connectivity and unbeatable ease of use. Due to its efficient design, printing costs and environmental footprint can be minimised. 

“Through its cooperation with edding, Elried has been able to combine its skills in the development of state-of-the-art industrial coding systems into a package that is unique in the industry: technically superior printing systems that adhere to an unprecedented number of surfaces with edding inks and enable coding in perfect quality.”

Developing precise protection against corrosion with PFINDER

Damages or small scratches on metal surfaces occur quickly. Even if they do not necessary impair the function of a device, the now unprotected surface forms an entry gate for corrosion.
Bringing together the expertise from PFINDER, a true hidden champion in the field of corrosion protection, and edding’s know-how of precise application, we are developing an anti-corrosion marker that fits in every pocket and guaranteeslasting protection.

“The cooperation with edding is a great example of how the respective expertise – surface protection and application can complement each other and lead to the development of new innovative products.”
