A specialty manufacturer of sequentially numbered bar code labels, the company is also a provider of bar code inspection equipment and digital files. Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 24, 2005 -- Symbology, Incorporated of Maple Grove celebrated its 25th Anniversary on March 17, 2005. As a pioneer in bar code technologies, the company has enjoyed 25 years of success. Even though it was snowing, company officers Jeff Gossen and Ted Schultze willingly bent to their traditional anniversary task of grilling lunch for the employees. (See photo.) Asked about the keys to their success, President Ted Schultze said he believes that being knowledgeable about technologies, focusing on a niche market, and being able to predict and adapt to industry trends have been their most valuable practices. Standards and types of bar codes have expanded exponentially. Printing and packaging practices have also seen dramatic changes. Symbology provides the expertise to ensure that their clients use codes correctly. On the label printing side, Symbology offers custom label construction and sequential numbering; abilities that few other companies can duplicate. There is a growing demand for the individual numbering of items, according to Vice President Gossen, as manufacturers and retailers strive to improve tracking, counterfeit and tamper-prevention, harsh environment durability, and data management. As for the future, both men are enthusiastic about recent bar code developments including 2D / DataMatrix codes and RSS (Reduced Space Symbology) codes that are now being used to store more extensive data directly on individual items, and/or to fit on very small items. The use of “Smart Bar Code Labels” labels with RFID chips, while still in its early stages, is another exciting development. When asked if Symbology is ready to meet the challenges of the next 25 years, Schultze declares, “You bet we are! I’m confident that we have the right people, the right strategies and the right expertise to carry us on towards our 50th Anniversary.” Symbology, Incorporated, established in 1980, is a specialty manufacturer of sequentially numbered bar code labels, including customized security products.
