Asset marking for business and equipment

Asset marking provides long-term protection for valuable company property such as laptops, mobile phones, storage devices, specialist equipment and tradesmen’s tools.

By applying a permanent, tamper-resistant code linked to the International Security Register (ISR), assets become instantly identifiable and traceable. This makes them less attractive to thieves, harder to sell on, and far easier for law enforcement, police, insurers and businesses to recover.

For organisations, asset marking reduces loss, lowers insurance risk, and supports compliance with company security policies.

Tool marking that deters theft and proves ownership

Tools are among the most frequently stolen assets, yet recovery rates remain low because ownership is difficult to establish. Retainagroup’s tool marking system creates a permanent, tamper-proof identity for each item, with unique codes securely recorded on the International Security Register (ISR).

This makes tools easily identifiable, ensures lifelong traceability, and provides 24/7 verification to assist police and insurance companies. Using the same proven technologies as our automotive and cycle solutions—including ultra-destruct labels and UV fluid—our system offers both visible deterrence and covert protection, reducing losses and keeping businesses operational.
