UK / USA - Le Mark Group and Pro Tapes/Permacel - the world's largest manufacturers of tapes for the arts and entertainment industry, have announced an alliance which sees Le Mark Group become a Master Distributor in the UK for the Pro Tapes/Permacel range of high quality self-adhesive tapes. Pro Tapes/Permacel is the leading manufacturer of vinyl-coated tapes including Permacel 665, the world's first gaffer tape.

Le Mark has a wide range of award-winning 'tape-based' products and saw the benefits of offering the Pro Tapes/Permacel range through its own dealer network. Le Mark MD Stuart Gibbons stated: "The alliance between our two great companies is a natural and logical progression. Le Mark needed to meet customer demand for specialty products, in particular gaffer tapes with more colour options. The Pro-Gaffer range is available in 17 standard colours and four fluorescents - this amount of quality products and colour choice has simply never been available to the UK market before. Our products and brands complement each other so well. The Le Mark & Pro Tapes alliance ensures that there is simply no area of the global entertainment industry that is not catered for."

Le Mark will be introducing the new range through its 2004 UK Road Show Program and at selected exhibitions in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. The first showing will be at PALME 2004 in Dubai.
