Marking Engineering was established in 1987 as a one-man operation in Boskruin, Randburg, Gauteng. Initially, Marking Engineering offered pin marking and laser marking services to a few customers. From its humble beginnings with only one pin marker and laser machine in place, Marking Engineering expanded its services also to be used in the metal, steel, engineering, automotive, medical, pharmaceuticals, corporate clothing and packaging sectors.
With the increase in customer demand, the company started selling marking equipment to a very few but growing customer base in 1994. In 1995 a Machine sales unit was established to meet customer requirements. In 2006, the company moved into new bigger premises and Technical Unit was established. In 2008, the company ventured into Systems Integration due to customer demand and it now offers a full range of systems integration that is bundled to customer specifications.
