An expert’s opinion

 
This is what Anthony Sorribes – Operational Excellence Manager has to say

SIC MARKING GROUP

MAATEL

 
Maatel, specialist in the design, manufacture and integration of boards, electronic subassemblies and complete electronic products for 45 years, was taken over by the SIC Marking Group in 2020.

This absorbed expertise provides us with the latest technical progress for the development of our custom systems or solutions.

Our impact on the environment

 
The permanent marking technologies that we use offer the decisive advantage of not needing consumables.
Dot peening distorts the material at the impact points, the laser causes a local heat reaction on the surface of the materials and scribing scores the marking.

No need for labels, ink, etc., offering an unequalled durability in the quality of our markings.

The management of the energy consumed by our production machines, by our vehicles or for our buildings is strictly tracked, with the permanent objective of continuous improvement.
