The challenge facing AVK

“We chose laser machines because they are a one time investment. In the past we used stickers, but the costs for materials are recurring and the chance of malfunction was higher. The lasers are currently only used for laser marking the pallets, but in the near future we would like to expand that to other products", Peter de Greef, project leader AVK Plastics.

The Trotec solution

“We've chosen Trotec because we wanted a quality product as well as know-how. We made a comparison between several laser producers, but the quality of the Trotec marking was the best one. We had a very pleasant cooperation with Trotec. They not only deliverd the laser systems, but they also helped thinking for an ultimate set-up. In the end, we took care of the integration process. This took some time, but we're very happy with the result", Peter de Greef.
