OREANDA-NEWS. BlagoveshchenskValvesPlant(BVP Public Joint Stock Company, based in the Republic of Bashkortostan, part of OMK Joint Stock Company, Moscow) has started using laser marking for its products. Thisnew feature will provide uniform identification for the factory's products, and will considerably upgrade the factory's protection against counterfeit manufacturers.

The main advantage of the new method is that it is quick, durable, and contrasting. A two-dimensional code (a QR code) is engraved onto the parts by a laser; that code will ensure a high degree of protection against counterfeiting.

"We closely monitor the quality of our products. Our clients must have the confidence that the products they buy are originaland made at Blagoveshchensk Valves Plant using modern high-tech equipment. This is the reason for the introduction of the new protection system. There is no need for special equipment or devices to read the information in the code. Any modern phone with QR code-reading software installed will do," said Alexander Kozhevnikov, BVP's Managing Director.
