Berntsen: A Marked Difference
It's no secret why the world's largest producer of durable boundary markers works like a well oiled machine.  By Angus W. Stocking, LS

Many of our markers are made by a process called orbital forming. Berntsen is the only manufacturer of markers to use this precision forming technology. Orbital forming results in a more durable product with better and more precise detail at an economical price and faster delivery to you. This unique technology, in conjunction with the latest in computer-assisted design, allows us to reproduce your artwork and logo designs to the most accurate detail. We also have the capability to imprint our markers in over 1,000 languages. Our markers are found in all 50 U.S. States and in almost 100 countries worldwide from the Nile River to the Panama Canal, from Antarctica to Saudi Arabia, from Madagascar to Singapore, from the bottom of Death Valley to the top of Mount McKinley. We have been greatly honored to participate in many special commemorative projects. Some of them include making special "Center of Population" markers to identify the population center based on the U.S. Census every 10 years, the District of Columbia bicentennial celebration, the 200th anniversary of Great Britain's Ordinance Survey, the 100th anniversary of the modern day Olympics, the marking of the Four Corners, and the marking of Pike's Peak to celebrate the anniversary of the composition "America The Beautiful" to name just a few. We also produce many commemorative markers and disks for surveying organizations, companies, and government agencies.

The American Surveyor Magazine Sept. 2007 issue features an article on surveying Walt Disney World as well as a sidebar on one of our most popular survey markers we have ever made.
