Argos Eléctrica - Coding that powers on when your line does
About our customer Argos Eléctrica
Argos Eléctrica is a leading Mexican manufacturer in the electrical sector, with more than 65 years of experience supplying copper conductors, cables, and electrical solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.

“Every Monday, I’d lose time cleaning printheads and dealing with dried ink. With LEIBINGER, the printhead seals, the ink stays airtight, and we’ve seen real savings from less waste.“
Ing. Pablo González
Plant Manager, Argos Eléctrica
The Challenge:
Reliable startups and consistent coding
In wire & cable production, printing on curved surfaces, dark materials, and at high line speeds requires codes that remain clear, durable, and consistent — without interrupting production.
For Argos, restarting production after planned downtime — especially on Mondays — required additional time and attention. Printheads needed cleaning, ink would dry out, and operators had to prepare systems before production could begin. These routine interruptions added complexity and created unnecessary downtime on the line.
At the same time, maintaining clear, high-contrast codes at production speed remained critical.
The Solution:
Coding that’s ready when the line is
Argos turned to LEIBINGER for a more reliable coding & marking solution.
Argos turned to LEIBINGER for a more reliable coding & marking solution.
With LEIBINGER’s fully automatic nozzle sealing, the system remains airtight when not in use, preventing ink from drying out. Combined with continuous ink management, this ensures the printer is ready to operate immediately — without cleaning or preparation.
LEIBINGER inks are designed for demanding cable applications, delivering high-contrast, fast-drying codes that remain legible on a wide range of materials without slowing production.
What makes the difference for Argos: Stability and simplicity
With LEIBINGER, Argos has achieved a more stable and predictable production process.
Printers are ready when needed, reducing operator intervention and eliminating unnecessary downtime. At the same time, LEIBINGER inks deliver high-contrast, fast-drying codes that remain clear and consistent on cable surfaces — supporting both readability and production speed.
The result is a smoother operation, where coding no longer interrupts production, but supports it.
A strong partnership:
LEIBINGER & IDICSA
Beyond the technology itself, local support plays a key role. With IDICSA as a trusted partner, Argos benefits from responsive service and expertise, ensuring reliable performance from installation through daily operation.
“I highly recommend LEIBINGER. They’ve been a great partner, and together with the IDICSA team, they’ve helped us overcome the daily challenges of the electrical cable market.”

Conclusion:
Reliability that keeps production moving
For Argos Eléctrica, the result is a coding solution that works seamlessly in the background — ready when the line starts, consistent throughout production, and reliable over time.
In an industry where production cannot stop, that reliability makes all the difference.
