Business Innovation in America: ShieldMark Inc - Mighty Line

Mighty Line Minute with Dave Tabar - Talking Safety, EHS, OSHA

Greetings everyone and welcome back to Mighty Line Minute. We've got a great episode today. We're continuing with Business Innovation in America. And I'm really pleased today to talk about a company that you'll all be interested in, and that's ShieldMark Incorporated. ShieldMark Inc. was established in 2003 by Thomas Goecke of Cleveland, Ohio. He created a warehouse and manufacturing floor stripe product branded Mighty Line® in 2006. Goecke had identified significant operational and cost impacts that resulted from seasonal repainting of factory and warehouse floors. This occurred often during plant shutdowns. That downtime involved the removal of old floor paint, repainting, and the relocation of equipment and storage from revised layouts.

Thus became the drive to create a new technology-improved industrial-grade floor tape that was both durable and long lasting. A floor tape that could withstand busy manufacturing and warehousing operations. At the same time,he and his family recognized the importance of incorporating new and vibrant color schemes and enhancing safety and visual features associated with the tape. To solve this industry-wide issue. The ShieldMark team developed a patented durable floor stripe called Mighty Line®, made of 50 mil thick PVC with a unique patented bevel edge and rubber cement-based adhesive.

The new color schemes help to enhance 5S organization and vehicle versus pedestrian areas as well as establishing clearly marked and delineated areas for unique storage. They include diagonally-striped tape to indicate special hazards or risks and to highlight specific storage areas for different product types. The product, produced and distributed under the strict supervision of ShieldMarkIncorporated, quickly gained popularity, and was soon found throughout theUnited States.

Further enhancements were made to ensure that Mighty Line® branded floor tape was sufficiently robust to offer a three-year limited warranty, a first in the industry.

Users of Mighty Line® tape would also soon discover that removal did not leave an adhesive residue, making it a standout feature. Also available are floor products that include photo luminescence and reflective center stripes, and floor tape that has been tested under the more reliable ASTM E303 dynamic coefficient of friction standards.

With its immense range of sizes, widths, thicknesses, and colors, Mighty Line®is considered a leading supplier of industrial floor tape and signage throughout the United States and in the world today. Their unique product line includes options, such as angles, t's, dots, segments, arrows, letters, and even footprints.

Today mighty line has a growing user network fueled by their increasing production and branded floor tape throughout the U.S. and beyond. Their product line has been enhanced to meet the high demand for 5 S and floor safety signs. Examples include stop signs, fire extinguisher, signs, forklift travel signs, and pedestrian signs to assure safe egress.

Their line of clear adhesive, windows has been expanded to include various shapes and sizes for use with bar or scan codes throughout the workplace. The clear adhesive windows are especially strong, and enhance durability, effectiveness and the longevity of those floor-marked scan codes.
