About Marathon Labels Inc.
...................................................................................................................

Marathon Labels represents a story about the power of the entrepreneurial spirit and high performance manufacturing in today’s US. Founded in July of 2001, Marathon rose from the ashes of a familiar story in today’s economy: big company buys small company and closes it leaving longtime employees jobless and local customers without support.

Marathon’s ownership recognized that the need for durable, compliance labels in the Country’s heartland still existed and was not being served. With a vast knowledge of compliance labeling and a commitment to the electronics, appliance and transportation industries, Marathon stepped in to fill this void.

Marathon has grown to supply some of the largest and most prestigious electronics manufacturers in the world. Our intellectual property portfolio continues to expand as we add new UL certifications to our company files. We hold over 60 certifications in UL’s PDGQ, PGJI and PGAA programs.

Our specialties include situational examination, adhesion/legibility problem identification and providing cost effective solutions. We also bring extensive product development capability to your applications. Our broad experience and strong vendor relationships allow us to be creative in solving problems involving difficult to label surfaces and demanding exposures.
