materialfluss : Which products do you particularly want to score points with in autumn and winter and what makes them stand out?
Axel Bartsch: In the fourth quarter, many companies prepare for the warehouse inventory. This often involves reorganizing the warehouse or relabeling the storage locations. Magnetic warehouse labeling is very often chosen here, as it is very easy and flexible to use thanks to its magnetic adhesion. Magna-C offers a wide range of different variants and dimensions. Thanks to our in-house production, we can react very quickly to a wide range of customer requirements.

mfl: How quickly can in-house manufacturing respond to requests and what are common specific customer requirements that go beyond the standard repertoire?
Bartsch: In our own production facility at our company site in Wendlingen/Neckar, we can react very quickly to customer requests. If there is an urgent need, the customer will receive their customized stock marking within three to four working days. The specific requirements of our customers range from special sizes and shapes of stock tags to special colors. Special requirements are also often placed on the magnetic force.

mfl: Is there a kind of "bestseller" in the range?
Bartsch: The bestsellers are still the "ordinary" magnetic warehouse signs. We die-cut these from large magnetic foil pre-cuts to the size required by the customer. These tags can then be labeled or provided with a printed sticker.

mfl: How important is the aspect of clear and good signage for occupational safety in the warehouse? What experiences have you had in recent years - is the importance of this topic increasing and, if so, why?
yes, why?
Bartsch: Clear and good signage in the storage areas is of fundamental importance for occupational safety in the warehouse. This is the only way to guarantee clear and unambiguous work processes, which is a prerequisite for employee safety. However, information and warning signs, which can be easily attached almost anywhere in the warehouse using magnetic force, are also an important guarantee for occupational safety. Increased ISO 9001 certification means that the topic of occupational safety is becoming increasingly important. The demand for magnetic storage and information signs has risen sharply at Magna-C in recent years.

mfl: Where do you see the strengths of
Magna-C in comparison to its competitors?
Bartsch: Our strength is clearly the great flexibility in our production. We can react very quickly to customer requests and supply the customer with the optimum stock marking product almost "just-in-time".

mfl: What goals has the company set itself in the field of signage, where do you want to be at the end of the year?
Bartsch: We have the clear goal of continuing to be one of the leading suppliers of magnetic warehouse labeling and identification. We are constantly investing in our machinery and the expertise of our employees. Martin Schrüfer
