Kord King, the largest US manufacturer of power cords, has introduced a new product called “Identicord”. This product was created to help stop the significant problem, experienced by contractors and medical facilities, of having heavy duty and medical grade power extension cords “walking” from their job sites.
The new “Identicord” has the company name imprinted at frequent intervals along the entire cord length. Kord King estimates that their new Identicord will save contractors and medical facilities millions of dollars each year from stolen medical and construction grade extension cords alone.
Kord King company annually supplies millions of power cords for medical, construction, lighting, power tools, and industrial applications.
Five Ways the Identicord Can Save Money for a Kord King Customer:
- Prevention of Theft: The Identicord has the customer’s company name imprinted at frequent intervals along the entire cord length, making it easily identifiable. This deters theft at job sites, such as construction or medical facilities, where heavy-duty and medical-grade extension cords are commonly stolen. By reducing losses due to theft, customers save significant replacement costs, as Kord King estimates that Identicord can save contractors and medical facilities millions of dollars annually from stolen cords alone.
- Reduced Replacement Costs: The Identicord’s clear branding discourages unauthorized removal or “borrowing” of cords, extending their usable lifespan. Since heavy-duty and medical-grade cords are expensive, preventing their loss means customers avoid frequent replacement expenses, directly impacting cost savings.
- Improved Inventory Management: The custom imprinting on Identicord allows for easy tracking and identification of cords, reducing the likelihood of misplacement or loss during inventory processes. This streamlines inventory management, saving time and labor costs associated with replacing lost or untracked cords.
- Enhanced Durability for Long-Term Use: Identicord is built with high-quality, durable materials, designed to withstand tough environments like construction sites or medical facilities. Our UL-listed and CSA-approved cords are rigorously tested to meet stringent standards, reducing the need for frequent replacements due to wear and tear, which translates to long-term cost savings.
- Customized Solutions for Efficiency: Kord King’s Identicord can be tailored to specific lengths, colors, and configurations, ensuring customers receive cords optimized for their needs. This customization minimizes waste from using oversized or unsuitable cords and reduces downtime caused by equipment mismatches, leading to operational cost savings.
