OUR BEGINNINGS
The origins of MACSA go back to 1908, when the Framun company located in Manresa (Barcelona) set up a rubber stamp factory. Two years later the company began distributing machinery and consumables for rubber stamp manufacturers throughout Spain.
In the 80s MACSA gradually left the rubber stamp business, changing its focus towards providing solutions to the increasingly sophisticated and complex problems faced by clients wanting industrial marking. The growing interest of companies in satisfying end customers resulted in a need to mark all packaged goods, especially those in the food industry. This challenge also included the requirement to meet international regulations and maintain the highest standards of technological innovation. MACSA anticipated companies’ needs, creating a unique product that would satisfy them.
