History

Markem-Imaje was formed in 2007 from the merger of New-Hampshire-based Markem Corporation and the French company Imaje S.A., companies within Dover Corporation's Dover Engineered Systems.[1] Started in 1911 in Keene, New Hampshire, Markem Corporation established itself as a designer and distributor of hardware, software and services for product identification. The company was named one of New Hampshire's Best Companies to Work For each year between 2003 and 2005.[2] Markem Corporation was acquired by Dover Corporation in 2006.

Founded in 1982 by industrialist Jean-Claude Millet, Imaje S.A. developed continuous inkjet technology, a printing method in which the printer makes no physical contact with the item being marked. Imaje S.A. was acquired by Dover Corporation in 1995.[3] The combined Markem-Imaje claims to be the world's largest provider of product identification solutions.[4]
