Numberall: A Year in the Metal Marking Industry
The Past, Present, and Future of Permanent Metal Marking: Why Numberall’s Legacy Offers a Better Solution for Today’s Manufacturer
The manufacturing world is constantly evolving, with new technologies promising faster, more automated, and often more expensive solutions. While dot peen, laser, and inkjet marking systems have their place, many businesses find themselves needing a more reliable, economical, and straightforward solution.
For over 95 years, since our founding in 1930, Numberall has been the leading name in permanent metal marking equipment, offering a powerful alternative to complex and costly systems. As a 4th-generation family business, we believe in a simple philosophy: provide durable, American-made products that just work.
This is a look back at our history, and more importantly, a look forward at how our legacy of innovation and craftsmanship is more relevant than ever for businesses seeking to make an informed decision about their metal marking needs.
Understanding the Landscape: Beyond Dot Peen, Laser, and Inkjet
When you’re looking to permanently mark a part, component, or tag, you’re faced with a variety of options. Our competitors often focus on high-tech solutions. While these technologies are powerful, they come with significant drawbacks:
- High Initial Investment: The cost of a new laser or dot peen system can be prohibitive, especially for small to medium-sized businesses or specialized applications.
- Complex Maintenance: These systems often require specialized training, expensive consumables, and frequent, complex maintenance, leading to downtime and increased operational costs.
- Limited Customization: Many of these solutions are “one-size-fits-all,” making it difficult to adapt them to unique or unusual marking challenges.
Numberall’s niche is providing an economical and reliable alternative. We’re not competing in the dot peen or laser space; we excel in a different, often overlooked, segment of the market. Our metal marking equipment offers a high-value, low-complexity solution for permanent identification and traceability.
