A laser coding company has developed what it claims to be the fastest coders ever with the aim of tackling counterfeiting.

Manufacturers can now achieve permanent codes on a range of materials efficiently and at high speed, according to Linx Printing Technologies in the UK.

The Linx CSL10 and Linx CSL30 can print complex codes into a large marking field of 600mm x 440mm – a size that would have previously required two lasers to complete.

Unique codes can be entered, stored, and changed when required using LinxVision unique software driven via the smart new touch screen that accompanies each laser.

Coding orientations can be adjusted to meet the needs of each product range with the option of multiple beam delivery.

The lasers are available with either an IP54 or IP65 rating suitable for wet and dusty environments.

With a detachable marking head and cables that are easy to disconnect, the laser can be squeezed into tight spaces or mounted above fast-paced production lines when required.

Linx’s long history of laser coding coupled with their global wide installation base has enabled the development of knowledge and expertise across the coding industry.

The Linx coding laser printers are available from Australian distributor Raymax Applications.

Food & Drink Business

Owner of McGuigan and Nepenthe wines, Australian Vintage, recorded a one per cent drop in sales revenue to $257, and while it saw cash flow improvement in FY25, it remained behind company targets.

A further $28.7 million has been allocated to successful applicants through the federal Industry Growth Program, including several developing technologies to support the food system. The latest round included Blue Carbon, Provectus Algae, and Uncharted Waters.

Endeavour Group’s net profit after tax fell 16 per cent to $426 million in FY25. While results were buoyed by the Hotel business, retail sales fell to $10 billion, reflecting subdued consumer spending in retail liquor and supply chain disruption during the peak Christmas trading period.
