Marchtrenk, June 27, 2025 - Trotec Laser and ATN Hölzel are both firmly established in the industrial manufacturing sector. They share the goal of improving the efficiency, quality, and economy of production processes through the use of modern technology. Both companies have a strong presence in the automotive sector and are familiar with the high demands of vehicle manufacturers.

Trotec Laser is known for its innovative laser solutions. As part of the TroGroup, Trotec develops, produces, and markets laser machines for marking, cutting, and engraving various materials and substances. Around 700 employees support more than 40,000 systems in 90 countries.

With over 500 employees worldwide, ATN Hölzel develops and implements customized system solutions for industrial production, particularly for the automotive and supplier industries. ATN Hölzel supported the successful market launch of the VIN Marker. "With the VIN Marker, we are relying on future-oriented technology that gives our customers a clear competitive advantage," explains Torsten Hölzel, managing director of ATN Hölzel GmbH.

This strategic alignment highlights both companies' commitment to providing future-oriented, standardized technologies and optimizing production processes in the automotive sector. ATN will focus on sales in North America and Asia, while Trotec Laser will concentrate on Europe.

The VIN Marker is an innovative laser marking solution that has already won over many well-known vehicle manufacturers. It allows you to benefit from high marking quality without the need for the complex special solutions that previous technologies required. With comparable costs and cycle times, the VIN Marker significantly improves quality compared to previous technologies, such as scribing.

Additionally, laser VIN marking significantly increases production line efficiency and optimizes operating processes by reducing downtime, such as that caused by needle breakage in conventional embossers. Manufacturing costs, setup times, and reworking costs can also be minimized. These improvements lead to a sustainable, economical, and reliable production process.

A major advantage of the VIN marker is its comprehensive standardization. All necessary preparatory work for laser protection class 1 compliance has been completed, allowing the system to be easily integrated into existing production environments.
