Company History
In the early days of container shipping, all containers were closed and secured by ordinary padlocks with keys. But the key for a padlock on a container presented a problem as the keys were often delayed or lost at final destination.
This caused Michael Remark to invent a locking device that had to be cheaper than a padlock but with the same security.
In other words: " A padlock intended to be opened by a bolt-cutter".
With his first design, Michael Remark founded in 1974 OneSeal A/S. OneSeal has from then rapidly grown to become the world's leading manufacturer of what is today known as the High Security Seal.
OneSeal A/S is today the leader of a world-wide industry and hold it's own representative offices in USA, official agents on 6 continents and in more than 30 countries.
On May 1st 2010, OneSeal celebrated its 35th anniversary.
OneSeal generations
1st generation of seals.
The first generation of High Security Seals has been improved over the years and today's top model features engraving of the seal by use of high technology laser.
The engraving is protected by an ultra-sound welded plastic cap to protect against tampering and the seal is finally packed in an individual blister packing for easy distribution.
All high security bolt seals are engraved by laser beam technology which prevents tampering and enables production of a company logo on the seals.
2nd generation of seals.
Oneseal commenced in 1991 the second generation of container seals and introduced the first high security seals ever to be bar coded. The bar coding of seals accelerates port production and facilitates seal registration by use of hand held computers.
The Oneseal Automated System - OAS - features a fully integrated package for using bar coded seals, including hand held computers, staff education and individually developed software programs.
The perfect solution for container terminals or shipping lines wanting maximum security and where humanresources are used for registration of seal and container numbers.
3rd generation of seals.
The OTS system provides users with faster port operation, reduced handling time at terminal gates and can even provide you with your own container tracking system. Increased security is obtained as the system warns pilferage by alarm. The OTS system is designed for individual requirements, including reading equipment installation and user education.
