Kortho was founded in Amsterdam in 1926 and is still a Dutch and 100% family owned company today. Because of our
long history we were able to witness the evolution of Coding & Marking from the beginning. Naturally our machines also
evolved along the way. From stencilling and the standalone mechanical stamping machines in the early days. To the
network connected Industry 4.0 printers of today.
Next to still offering our mechanical hotfoilprinters, rollcoders and touch-dry marking systems, Kortho also specializes in
Thermal Print as well as Hi-res Inkjet systems. Two core technologies that stand at the base of our new generation
printers: Consisting of TIJ and Piezo inkjets on one end, and Label and TTO printers on the other. This makes us the widest
multi-technology oriented specialist in the market today. Furthermore as all products have been fully developed
in-house our printers and software have a highly integrated and standardized design between them.
As an independent and longtime family owned business Kortho has always been able to stay true to itself. Firstly by
remaining a specialist. Hence, we will only develop a printer if we can make it best in its kind. Never shall we launch an
average product just to widen our offering. And secondly by staying transparent. Basing our pricing on manufacturing
cost and obvious value only. Never on marketing, strategy or artificial product differences. These principals not only
guarantee technologically dominant and best valued priced printing systems, but also a loyal partner that will always
choose long term relationships over short term results.
As early as 2007, and with our first network controlled TTO launched in 2009, Kortho saw clearly that high automation
and centralized (human-free) printer control was the future in coding. Winning OEM's and dealers would not just have
to offer good printers, but also be able to integrate them into any smart customized coding solution. Something that
just very recently became known as Industry 4.0. As a result Kortho has focused its development in this direction ever
since. First by implementing the needed functionalities. And now, through our SLIMLINE concept, by making them easy,
quick and cheap to implement. Our mission: Making smart, tailored and error free coding into the new global standard.
And thus turning Industry 4.0 into a turn-key available commodity.
INDUSTRY 4.0 IS NOW A TURN-KEY
AVAILABLE COMMODITY!
