Since the day National Marker Company opened in 1934, the company has honored its timeless traditions of safety and quality. Over 81 years later, the NMC team strives to accomplish the same two goals, by manufacturing the highest-quality safety identification products to help make the world a little bit safer.
The company was established in Pawtucket, RI as a fire warning sign screen printer, manufacturing extinguisher labels to specialized printing for retail stores in the 80s. As time went on, workplace safety awareness heightened, and in its turn, the company’s line of safety identification products grew. To accommodate the significant growth, in 1999 NMC moved to a larger location in North Smithfield, RI.
Soon after, in 2012 President Michael Black became the new owner of NMC. His vision for future success was fueled by passion, love for his team, and the desire to always give back to the community while maintaining transparency throughout his journey.
Community: More Than Signs. At National Marker Company, its word, relationships, and the ability to deliver and exceed expectations are treated with the same reverence as the words on its signs, tags, and labels. NMC’s vision of good business thrives by giving back to its community, employees, and the environment, being the cornerstone of its success.
