The announcement concludes nearly 12 months of negotiations between the two companies and sees Le Mark become a 'focused distributor' for TESA. Le Mark's managing director, Stuart Gibbons, told PLASA Media: "This is very much a two-way partnership. It will enable Le Mark's design ability and award-winning flair to be developed further. It also ensures that Le Mark's clients have a direct channel to a multi-national manufacturer who recognizes that the entertainment industry is a growing sector which should be given special attention."
One of the first areas of collaboration has been in the development of an affordable quality heat-resisting 'filter-splicing' tape for the scroller market. A new clear splicing tape with a working temperature of 200°C will also be available shortly.
