Trodat was founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1912, and through their foresight and innovation, grew to be the global market leader for self-inking stamps, marking products and laser engraving machines.   In 1960 M&R was founded in the U.S. and began to supply the U.S. market with high quality products at competitive prices. By putting the customer first, and supporting them with a knowledgeable sales staff and professional customer service, M&R has grown to be the leading supplier of self-inking stamps in the U.S.

Trodat is determined to continue its globalization efforts focusing on its core competencies:  development, production, marketing and distribution of stamps and marking devices.  As a trendsetter and major player in the international marking industry, 98% of their products are exported to 160 countries all over the world.  In 2006 sales exceeded 144 million dollars. 

At M&R the commitment to excellence goes beyond current products and manufacturing techniques. M&R's in-house engineers and chemists are taking advantage of advances in technology to improve existing products and to invent new ones.  M&R's commitment to quality and customer support, along with effective marketing materials, have made M&R a leader in the marking device industry.

At Trodat and M&R the customer has always come first.  That philosophy has paid off. Today the Trodat Printy is the number one self-inking stamp in the world, and M&R's Ideal mounts are the best selling stamps in the U.S. 

The goal of both companies is to be your supplier of choice today and into the future.
