Durable Mecco acquires Stamp-Rite division
Durable Mecco, a manufacturer of industrial marking equipment, acquired the steel stamp division of Stamp-Rite Supersine Inc. in June 2014.
Stamp-Rite Supersine, located in Lansing, Mich., has been manufacturing a wide range of identification products including signs, labels, rubber and steel stamps since 1955.
Durable Mecco produces steel stamps, steel type and marking dies and is the U.S. distributor of the Couth line of impact presses. With manufacturing operations in Franklin Park, Ill., and Worcester, Mass., Durable Mecco supplies industrial marking solutions that include indenting products, ink marking solutions, custom engraving services, as well as office marking products and facility identification. Customers range from light-duty machine shops to the heavy-duty forging and metals industry.
A 30-year veteran in the marking industry, Laurie Barcaskey, has been named as account manager for this group of customers.
Barcaskey has been involved with providing marking solutions as a direct sales representative and by supporting industrial distributors and manufacturer’s representatives since 1980. Her tenure in the industry started with her family business based in Pittsburgh, Penn., that manufactured marking equipment ranging from steel stamps to automated work stations until it was sold in 2002. In recent years, she has sold facility identification, thermal transfer labeling systems and supplies, as well as dot peen and laser marking machines.
