    The successful family business from Leksand wanted to work more actively with its brand building, and at the same time, new ideas about UNE-Produkter's marking began to emerge.

    Background

    UNE-Produkter has a long tradition of producing and painting moldings for the construction industry. It is a family business that is currently owned by Pär Bergkvist but has been around for generations. The company was founded in 1954, twenty kilometers north of Stockholm, by Pär's grandfather Helmer Bergkvist, at the time producing surface-treated building moldings. UNE-Produkter was, among other things, the first in Sweden to produce painted moldings. A sawmill was then purchased in Bergslagen, which supplied the molding factory with raw materials. Today, the company is based in Dalarna and Leksand, and is now a pure molding planing plant with surface treatment. They focus on large construction companies as customers, and thus act as a subcontractor. Among other things, they work with companies such as NCC, JM, Nikkarit and Skanska, to name a few. UNE-Produkter is a modern company with a focus on working in an environmentally friendly manner and thinking sustainably, which is why they only use environmentally friendly paints and products.

    Solution and customer review

    There is no requirement that moldings must be marked and for UNE-Produkter there was never any thought of doing so, but after the moldings were test marked with good results and the inspection of the marking machines exceeded expectations, Pär was more than convinced:

    "The machines are of good quality and very easy to use. It was also easy to integrate the machines into our existing production, so we couldn't say no. In addition, the branding makes us stand out and we are not alone in the market, which is why it is important for us to really invest in our name. This makes it easier for the customer to remember if our logo is on the product itself."

    For UNE-Produkter, this has been a boost in terms of brand building. They now mark all moldings with their logo and the profile of the molding using two inkjet printers. Linx 8900. When the strips are then collected in bundles, the labelling machine Weber LA4050e label the bundle with information such as color, length and logo.

    UNE-Produkter's owner Pär concludes:

    "The hope with marking our products is to create a brand. We want to become more well-known than just in the market we operate in. We hope that when people change their floors in twenty years and tear off the molding and see our name; That they will call us. That's why it's so fantastic with companies like Logimark, who really see our opportunities and are so accommodating. We are very pleased and the marking is great."
