Over 12 months of testing, evaluations were carried out with extreme temperatures, vibration, oils and solvents. These extensive tests showed LeMark's product, to be able to produce the best solution, and therefore winning the contract, amidst fierce opposition within the industry market.Le Mark's sales director Linda Gibbons stated: "It was an incredible challenge for us to develop and produce an ultra-durable high quality label/plate such as this. Largely due to the severe environmental operating conditions, i.e. grey iron and aluminium foundries, machine and press shops. We have the ability to combine both our St Ives and Kent facilities at major contract level, this was certainly needed to meet the specification demanded by Perkins Engines. We also received 100% support from our Japanese partners Sliontec. This involved a visit from the Tokyo-based company's technical engineer to evaluate product criteria, environmental parameters, and the stress and 'shear' involved of the intended adhesive system to be used".
"We are looking forward to continue the developing our relationship with Perkins Engines, now that we have proved we can meet their exacting standards." These benifits will be passed on to all clients that continue to place their trust in Le Mark."
