Shift service: S+P Samson experts on site at the steelworks in Gijón, Spain

With its latest assignment at one of northern Spain's largest steelworks in Gijón, S+P Samson GmbH has underscored its commitment to seamless traceability and the highest service quality. In the middle of the night, our experts, Florian Bäumler and Daniel Eschbaumer, were immersed in the production process, testing and optimising the reliability of our industrial labelling solutions.

Challenge: Labelling under extreme conditions

n the steel industry, the crucial steps where extreme heat, dust and mechanical stress prevail are carried out in continuous operation. Ensuring the legibility of labels on red-hot heavy plates, rails, and long products requires solutions that compromise on nothing.

The best testing takes place not in the laboratory, but in the real-life environments of our customers. Our commitment to providing a 100% service is demonstrated by our willingness to work through the night – wherever our solutions are required.

GRAPHIPLAST^® – reliability at the heart of the process

This time, the focus was on testing the performance of our GRAPHIPLAST^® labels, which are renowned for their exceptional temperature and tear resistance. On-site analysis ensures that our customers' marking processes are optimally matched to their material flows.

• Ensuring traceability along the entire production chain.
• Verifying the durability of our solutions under high mechanical stress.
• Direct process optimisation to maximise plant efficiency and reduce errors.
   

This tireless commitment demonstrates S+P Samson's customer focus and the expertise that comes with over 45 years of experience in industrial labelling.
