Overview
Mauquoy is a Belgian manufacturer and workshop brand that describes itself as the Belgian and European specialist in the making of awards, decorations and medals, with a history stretching back 150 years. The company works copper, steel, silver and gold, and states that every piece it creates is made or finished by hand. Its product range covers medals, awards, eretekens (decorations), personalised nameplates, stamps and engravings, and it also produces custom work based on client ideas. The family remains involved in the business, and the company emphasises craftsmanship, quality and personal service as core values. Alongside ceremonial and commemorative items, Mauquoy is a recognised manufacturer of branding stamps (brandstempels). These are electric stamps that leave a permanent mark on wood and other materials, made from materials able to withstand high temperatures such as brass, cast bronze and stainless steel. They are used especially to mark wooden pallets, including europallets, and wooden packaging. Mauquoy states that it is an EPAL-recognised branding stamp manufacturer and can produce stamps bearing the EPAL or ISPM 15 inspection mark. Typical delivery for pallet and crate makers in Belgium and the Netherlands is stated as generally 8 to 10 working days, and the company says it delivers quickly and worldwide. The brand serves both individual customers ordering awards or personalised medals and industrial customers such as cigar box makers, crate makers and the pallet industry. Its custom offering includes stamps for branding leather, cork, chairs, tables and meat, as well as classic and electric hand branding tools and replacement branding plates. Mauquoy positions itself on craftsmanship, hand finishing, fast and worldwide delivery, and the ability to translate a client's vision into a tangible result.
History
Mauquoy presents itself as a company with 150 years of experience in the working of copper, steel, silver and gold. According to its own account, its passion for processing these metals is 'in its genes', and the whole family still works in the business. The company has built its reputation on the hand-making and hand-finishing of medals, awards, decorations and engravings, and describes itself as the Belgian and European specialist in this field. Over time the business has expanded beyond ceremonial items into personalised nameplates, stamps and engravings across many materials. A significant part of its modern activity is the production of branding stamps (brandstempels): electric stamps that leave permanent markings on wood and other materials. These are made from heat-resistant materials such as brass, cast bronze and stainless steel, and are used particularly to mark wooden pallets, including europallets, and wooden packaging. Mauquoy states that it is an EPAL-recognised branding stamp manufacturer and can supply stamps with the EPAL or ISPM 15 inspection mark. The company serves a varied clientele, from individuals ordering awards or personalised medals to industrial customers such as cigar box makers, crate makers and the pallet industry. It offers both a fixed range and fully custom work, listening to client ideas and translating them into tangible results. It emphasises fast and worldwide delivery, with typical delivery for pallet and crate makers in Belgium and the Netherlands stated as generally 8 to 10 working days. Throughout, it positions craftsmanship, quality and personal service as its highest priorities.
