Many have either seen or used TherMark™ and/or CerMark™ branded products during the last few years. So, a logical question may be: Is there a difference between the two? And, the answer is: There used to be, but not anymore.
TherMark Holdings Inc. is the inventor of the TherMark Technology Process for laser bonding specialty inks and pastes to a variety of surfaces that leaves a permanent, high-contrast, high-resolution mark. The company holds more than 30 patents worldwide for this process.
Prior to 2004, TherMark manufactured and sold its own proprietary laser marking inks and pastes under the TherMark brand while Ferro Corporation manufactured and sold similar materials under the CerMark name. Ferro is a multi-billion dollar corporation based in Cleveland, Ohio, and a leading global producer of technology-based performance materials used in the manufacture of electronics, ceramics, glass and porcelain.
In 2004, TherMark licensed certain technology to Ferro Corporation. Under this licensing agreement, TherMark Holdings Inc. began distributing Ferro’s CerMark branded products worldwide.
