8381 ACBWJ, a joint venture (JV) company based in Belgium incorporating ACB, a well-established, high-quality paints and coatings manufacturer and WJ, the UK’s leading road safety markings contractor and materials specialist, have combined to innovate high quality marking products for the highway, car park, industrial and school playground sectors worldwide.

Here at Intertraffic, ACBWJ is launching TopMark, claimed to provide a new level of excellence in preformed thermoplastic markings for unlimited highway and non-highway permanent marking applications.

“TopMark is the result of years of practical experience and significant investment in research and development using the most advanced blend of resins, pigments, polymers and engineering to produce an incredibly flexible, durable and skid resistant preformed product,” says Joris Spruyt, Technical Director of ACBWJ. “TopMark displays a mark of quality and it is one of those achievements that make you immensely proud,” he adds.

TopMark is supplied in many formats - sheets and rolls or precision cut letters, numbers, symbols, lines, arrows, logos or complex designs - which are easy to apply using heat from a simple gas torch to melt in situ onto a prepared surface. The system can be supplied in skid resistant, reflective and non-reflective grades and it is a must for visitors to Intertraffic to check out; samples are available on stand 05.340.

ACBWJ also supply a range of other high quality, road marking paints, thermoplastic and MMA road marking materials, surface coatings, anti-graffiti coating and removal systems as well as the new Allux prismatic reflecting road stud. During Intertraffic, the company is actively looking for new distributors for the highway and non-highway sectors worldwide.

    September 18, 2012
    “Dan was an engineer who could dream, design and then sell. He loved to sell, and it came from a love to share. I'm sure that's what he's doing right now – selling and sharing. We loved his free spirit…you never knew what he was going to do or say next…he kept you on the edge of your seat. Dan had several careers throughout his life and he took the best from each one, using that to make his next career step even better. But at the end of the day, he was an engineer who loved to sell and share.” – Econo
