Electronics Imaging Materials, Inc., also known as EIM, is as unique as the many combinations of label materials it offers its customers. The family-owned business is based in Keene, NH, USA – a quaint, picturesque New England town with a community closely tied to EIM. The bar code and durable labels specialist celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017, thus making this an ideal time to reflect on three decades of growth and innovation.
EIM was founded in 1987 by Paul and Sue Henkel. Paul had been a materials consultant for marking and coding company Markem Imaje, where he enjoyed the company’s culture, as well as the industry. However, he left Markem after four years as product manager in the company’s first ever round of general layoffs since its start in 1911.
Today, Alex Henkel is president of EIM, and along with his wife, Heather Bell, purchased the company from his parents in 2006. Alex recalls, “My father’s experience led him to vow to create a company that never needed to have a layoff.
